WSP NYE in CO w/ YMSB

Probably will be a pretty sweet tour. Can't wait to see if there are any on-stage collaborations

NoLa NuGgA!!

in

Fuck. Yes. Two of my favorites

Panic not in ATL on NYE ???? WTF????

P.S. What does the Press Release mean - "this will be fan's last chance to catch the band live until the end of 2009." Are they taking '09 off? Anybody got a clue?

i heard rumors of no spring or summer tour but didnt want to listen!!! w/ the probabilty of jimmy doing the dead tour in the spring i can see that, but Aside from select shows, this will be fan's last chance to catch the band live until the end of 2009.... nooooooooo. so im guesing no summer tour either. anybody shed some light on this sad news.

Maybe a bad move on the band's part not to be in GA for NYE.

How many seats 4 this venue?

I am a fan of both bands but initially skeptic on this nye co-bill.

For me, having to fly is cool, but not for all.

Cheers to Mikey !!!

I love WSP, and I lOVE YONDER, but Yonder shouldn't be opening for anyone on NYE. THere my favorite band, and I want 3 nights at FILLMORE

FINALLY! Been waitin' a while for the 'official' announcement! saweeeet!

ever since a bunch of fuckin dipshits got arrested in Louisville at the palace panic hasn't been back, what gives.

killer abbreviations in that title

WTF man..NO WSP in ATL for NYE....Jesus f'in christ man. There goes my NYE tradition. Just can't afford to fly to Colorado, so I guess we'll be finding something close to home to do. I don't get the no summer or spring tour next year either, that really blows.

You heard it from me first, bitches.

kind od an odd pair up...definetly would be worth checking ot though...it'd be a swet wa to rack in the new year

why is yonder opening for panic?? jesus christ

does that mean ymsb will not be hosting their own nye celebration?

maybe a late night on NYE after the panic show?

no atl for nye is bull shit! tha southeast is panic's play ground, and fan base, makin us drive or fly that far w/ prices on every thing going up is fkn b.s.!!

Taking the year off I don't understand? They just put out a new album and have good sized crowds coming out to the shows. Maybe its because so many other big names are supposedly coming back(rumours of the Dead and Phish). But not taking off actually would have been good for the scene/fans because it might thin out more of the undesireables from within the crowd who might flock to the other big tours.

This sucks ass.

This is simple awesome. Berko Sucks

booooooooooo.... first time in 4 years i will be in the ATL for NYE and panic is going to denver, how lame. imo this sucks for YMSB fans, who wants to see their favorite band as an opener on the biggest night of the year??? guess i am going to have to get my STS9 tickets...

Yeah baby!!!!!!! Rockies rule this year!...just got back from wsp's two nights at Aspen Jazz Fest! Thanks guys for coming back! Disco>Diner>Pilgrims>Flicker...right on!!!

Where the hell have y'all been? This rumor has been coming at me from everywhere for at least five months now. So much so that it had to be true. Lets hope the winter isn't so bad that the airport closes and effs the whole thing up. I had heard that there probably would be no spring, but summer too??? I've already waited a year since the last bay area show (outside lands doesnt count) and now I might wait another year. WTF??Gimme a three night run somewhere in SF before thanksgiving please...

Its about time they made this announcement. And its a good thing I made my hotel reservations just a few days ago before the prices went up!

I just hope the fact that Yawnder is opening doesn't mean that we won't get a full on Panic NYE . . .

p.s. why isn't this on WSP's website yet??

heard this rumor a couple months ago. glad they wont be in the atl for nye...last year the panic fans were a little harsh to some of the sts9 hippies. already got my 4 night pass for tribe and can't wait to rage the lot sans drunkard panic frat boys....also, i totally agree with summertime- ithink it would be great for a little time off for wsp so maybe they could thin out their fan base.

I am one happy girl :) this will be my first panic NYE run! i could never afford to make it to atlanta. there's nothing wrong with them wanting to change it up..

Ha HA Looks Like Panic Just Sold Out! STS9 Is About To Put On For New Years! Yeah Stay Out The Way Frat Kids! A-Town Is Ours At Lasts! Put On!

So after everyone buys there Panic tickets, sts9 tickets, and My Morning Jacket tickets for New Years....who will be left to go see Phish when they announce a new years gig in Florida?

Ye-ah...God I love living in Colorado, getting kind of expensive though, RRocks>Aspen>Denver, will you guys quit following me around please ;) !!!!!

i agree theres nothing wrong with a little change, i had planned on the nye being out west, but the following tours being cancelled hurts.

hope you guys change your minds about that, but ill see ya in chuck town regardless!

This is a good move for them...they have been playing the same markets at the same time every year. Just like Raleigh around 4.20 doing 2 shows....did anybody see the attendance?? Not that good! Charlotte 2 nights in July...attendance not that good. First, they never planned on playing a spring or summer tour in 2009 at all.(never even in the works) joshc104, NYE is not a co-bill with YMSB, they are support on the show. Sorry if the band has inconvenienced any of you who live close to ATL....good move WSP!!

there is nothing wrong with change...but this has squashed two great nye traditions. and id be pissed if i was a diehard yonder fan....going from an annual run at the fillmore to opening at an arena....shit

How do you guys do it? I see posts talking about comming back from this tour, and 3 nights here then 2 shows there.. Do you work? I gave up on the "black market" a while ago and now work as a humble social worker paying rent and trying to keep my fridge stocked... and eyes red. Are you all trust fund babies retired .COMers or what? how do you finance following what ever tour you decide upon. Im glad i live in the bronx and can hit up alomst any NYC show but damn how do you folks do all that traveling?

About time Panic got smart enough to know that the Rockies is the best place to play NYE. Meeting everyone in the middle of the nation to throw down!

ohhh boy!

no spring OR summer. Fuck, this ruins my already shitty day.

ohhh yea

We can afford to do multi-night runs because we don't live in the Bronx! I can buy a nice house where I live for $125,000 which leaves plenty left over to go to Denver, the Beach, New Orleans, JamCruise, etc. Location, location, location. Of course, you do have more local talent than I'll ever see in my lifetime.

"Aside from select shows, this will be fan's last chance to catch the band live until the end of 2009"

Another way of trying to fill the Pepsie Center! Everytime I saw panic it was never ever packed like a Phish show or Dead show, they should stick to a smaller venue and so should Yonder WTF?!! I'd pick me some Bluegrass over this anyday.

"guinnieb", maybe i worded it wrong or something but what i meant to say was that if WSP continued to tour then the crowds next year at WSP shows might be nicer if some of the *undesireables* would flock, *FROM*, WSP, *TO*, these other rumoured bigger tours(Phish, The Dead).

*if this whole thing is even true, it is not even on wsp.com, yet . . . *

Wish I could make this one. Lets settle this & all move to Denver.

wsp sucks and should loose there arms so theyll quit fuckin up good festivals and shows. yonders the shit!

WTF? What will we do in 2009 without the boys?... Don't get me wrong, I am very excited that they are "Goin Out West" for New Years just like JB told us in Aspen. This is kinda scary though. I have always heard that 2010 will be the end. Is this a way to make sure their last year goes out with a bang. Every article I have ever read has the boys saying that they have plans til through their 25th.

Will we all be forced to grow up prematurely or in some cases decades too late? Are we supposed to go see mediocre shows to fill up our time? Or, do we sit on our porches and just tell stories about the "Good Ol' Days"?...........

You said it henahan...I definately do not have a trust fund or a .com job like brienza66 thinks. I work as an environmental biologist which does not pay that well, but I still scrape enough money up to go see a few shows that I have to travel for. I'm glad panic is switching it up this year. Had not heard about the hiatus...not so cool.

Denver, Colorado New Year's Eve Hotel Package!!! There are some folks throwing down on a huge hotel package. From what I understand, they have booked the entire 360 rooms, this hotel is going to go off. I called the number that I read on a handbill that I picked up in Aspen and they told me that they are ready and already taking reservations, the website will be up and running on 9/10/08!!! This is going to be off the hook!!!!

http://www.sageandspirittravel.com/

Indy! YES!!!! I'll see ya there ; )

"Aside from select shows, this will be fan's last chance to catch the band live until the end of 2009."

Does this mean that Jimmy is free to tour with the Dead next spring?

Hmmmmm.... (I sure hope so!!!!!!)

Fuck yes. To all the georgians bitching about having to travel on nye, suck it up, I live in Denver and came to your city eight times in the past 10 years, you can get off your assess and come to mine this year. Highsmith said "tha southeast is panic's play ground", and I would have to respectfully disagree, colorado is panic's playground, they obviously like playing here more than anywhere else, what other state is guaranteed 5 shows every year? (3 RR's and one end-of-summer two day fest). Yeah, they're from GA, but Co is a second home to these guys by now. If thousands of people can fly to Atlanta from colorado every goddam year for new years, you all can fly out here once, so stop bitching, or stay home.

I hope JB brings the heat because it's cold as ice in Denver in December. Brrrr........

Finally, no YMSB taking over the Fillmore...A chance for somebody else. Spread heads, have fun at the Pepsi Center, that place sux!! I saw Phish there and it sounds terrible....bring on the funk to the Fillmore baby!!

Haters a plenty!

PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like a grand ol' time im liking the NYE shows with yonder(2 smokin bands) , especially with the addition of the mandolin face meltage via jeff ;) , not gunna catch NYE but thank you- panic boys for the florida love, ill be at the st augustine show and the 2 fillmore miami shows for sure, followed by Pgroove halloween in JAX, all you floridians there's the blueprints for a tastee halloween treat

See all you morose motherfuckers at the backyard.

farqua,

The shitty sound might have had something to do with the fact that it was a 2003 phish show. That being said, have fun at the fillmore.

Bubba, why don't you take your tired ass off of this thread before you get hurt. I better not see you at any Panic shows this fall. Beeeeatch!

I got yer sausage right here, Bubba.

Is the dead horse named Mikey?

That's it! Bubba! shtstrm! I hope you both get pancreatic cancer! Isn't that just too hilarious!?

everybody stop fighting now, come on bros and hoes. like marley said, "we got to stick together...just like our african sisters and brothers in the congo. with guns and stuff....just like our brothers and sisters in mogadishu" you know he sang in that one song.

dave, dave, dave. do you want a piece of this too?

i can't help it if you don't like marley, mattiec(un)t. lil ho. i'll tear into you like j.b. tearing into a scrotum.

Why doesn't panic play in a better place, like Bergen or Oslo. A far northern realm of great magic and wonder, where hooves fling back the red-tinged snow of eons past and ancient sayings whisper to you in the thick of the woods, blowing ever-onward to the fjords. A place where wolves still howl, and ancient bards sang of by-gone times of warriors and heroes, their swords ringing out in moonlit night.

How about this thought - Panic sucks?

BRING BACK "George McConnell" !

yonder should NOT be opening for ANYONE on new year's in my opinion, especially since it's their 10th anniversary and they've accomplished soo much, just this year even (Red rocks AGAIN, DNC). either take NYE off completely or headline a show. i already had nye plans (thank goodness) and didn't have to be disappointed about this news. im glad some people are at least happy though, i've never even liked wsp. oh well, guess it's not up to me; yonder sure brings me joy throughout the year and who am i to judge? :)

I didn't beleive it when I heard but J.B & Trey are hookin' up!!! 2009!!

They're touring as John Bell Band featuring Trey and hey you know all you haters 'll be there. Here, in the south, the roofs willl lift as the heat rocks the roofs off. 'spiecally when Gordo and WSP drummer come out for some flyin' jams yeah. ^These shows 'll be a-Ite but wait'll JB Band hits it. You'll all hit it !!

ps dont fight...feel the heat. WSP!!

I really hope this means that Jimmy, not Warren, will be touring with the reunited "Core 4" Dead members this Spring. Nothing against Haynes, I just think Herring is a better fit for them.

yay more room at lotus! : )

yeah id rather just see yonder for 4 hours.

well it looks like I HAVE to go to the ATL show at lakewood, or I will not see them this year at all.

I hate amp's, I wanna see panic at the fox again!!!!!

The Dead probably got dibs on Jimmy...NICE! I dunno, I am down with Warren coming along too, he sings Jerry's parts just fine with me! ie: Sugaree, Wharf Rat...

Let's not forget Bruuuuuuuce Hornsby! That'd be sweet!

"The John Bell band featruting Trey Anastasio"...? That just made me puke in my mouth a little. And fuck YMSB for opening for such sub par glorified country music. Oh well, Atlanta or Denver either way, Panic blows. Thank God I'll be at the Nokia for a real fuckin party.

Thats really unfortunate. I was pretty pumped about new orleans then new years. I guess thats another excuse to go see Alabama play in the sugar bowl.

"Glorified country music"??? Have you ever been to a Panic show, or are you just a complete fucking nutsack??? You knew this news snippett was about Panic, whom you apparently hate, so why'd you click the fuckin' link. Have fun at bisco in NYC I know i would if I were there. Hopefully you will eat enough X to make your brain bleed out of your ears and render you incapable of ever posting on an internet forum again.

"I guess thats another excuse to go see Alabama play in the sugar bowl."

Laughable at best.

keep my yonder out of yalls panic business, please!

Why stop now? IMO the band is just getting back into shape. I really wish Sam Holt had stayed on. The shows I saw with him are some of the best Panic shows I ever saw. Let the Dead have Jimmy, his guitar work is out of place with WSP. It just sounds like a bunch of fast notes going nowhere. That said, if I were in Colorado, I'd be seeing Lotus! There will be more people feeling the music and getting down to Lotus and a lot less attitudes!

yeah, i've been hearing about this for quite some time. i know a few panic lovers that have always gone to the atlanta nye shows, and guess what? they aren't dissappointed at all because the philips arena pretty much blows. this is going to be so much fun, and yonder makes it all the better, and being able to walk to the pepsi center from my apartment makes it even more amazing. glaven!

I can't remember the last time I saw soo many negative comments on peoples posts. I know people in the Southeast are pissed but the boys have ALWAYS felt Colorado was like a second home to them... Nice to switch things up from time to time.

Sweet to hear Panic is here for New Years but the Pepsi Center ouch of a venue..... hope WSP will do a couple Red Rocks nights even tho theyre not setting a tour til late 09..... not tryin to panic

people on this thread need to take a chill pill or four and take it easy. See you folks in nawlins on Halloween.

be cool my babies, PANIC IN THE STREETS 09, SAT 4:18

Damnit.

Man you people have way too much time on your hands... so many thumbs down clicks. I'll see the faithful followers of both bands in denver. peace ya'll

This makes perfect sense....Atlanta's not really much of a vacation destination, anyway.

I live in AZ, if I want to see panic pretty much, I am traveling, we are lucky to get one show a year in state. Panic and Yonder sounds great to me, can't wait for New Years, sounds like after that it will be a long cold winter until the fall of '09.

Two news bits have been posted on Widespreadpanic.com since this jambase.com news bit came out. Neither of those two news bits on widespreadpanic.com have anything remotely to do with, "Last Full Tour Until Late 2009". Where pray tell does jambase get this from? Source?

at for two nights in oct. --- not as cold as NYE, not indoors, not a bad compromise. can't wait to see some of you kids, pranksters unite. rock > solid rock > forever jam. love and alkaloids, big ups to tha 'FAM'

In response to other comments, I don't see where it says YMSB is opening for WSP, simply that they are special guests. I think Yonder's gotten big enough to warrant them trading opening spots since there's 2 nights. Tough to imagine who's going to sit in on what in these shows...

haha why are all you people surprised that yonder plays first? Don't get me wrong, I love them both....but panic takes the cake. 30 sell-outs out red rocks and yonder is yet to get 1. C'mon people, its common sense! I'm really excited for these shows. Should be a great new years!!!!

widespreadpanic.com mentions nothing about Panic not touring until the "end of 2009." source?

420slam, i agree with your main point completely. i'm a fan of both bands but a much bigger fan of yonder, yet even so, it just makes more sense for panic to headline, though i know both will give killer sets. but, i have to correct one thing you said: yonder has at least 1 sell-out at the rocks--sept. 2, 2007. they may have sold it out this year too, i just don't know. and while it took them 'til the day of show to achieve the sell-out where it takes panic right around 15 minutes to sell-out their annual red rocks run, yonder does have bragging rights in that they sold out their very first headline at red rocks, which i don't think panic can claim.

Hopefully they're taking the spring and summer off so that Frogwings will get back together. Jimmy Herring's style fit best with Frogwings than any of the other bands he's been a part of, except for ARU of course. Come on Derek, get the band back together!

This is just about the only song this guy should sing -- worst vocals ever!

Wow thank you yonder for ruining my NYE plans I really couldnt wait to see a three day run at a bluegrass venue in good ol colorado but ya had to go for the big bucks and play the pepsi center...yonder in a arena, that just doesnt add up.
