WSP & YMSB | 12.31.08 | Colorado

Panic dude.... zoiks! First....ahh,

no review?

To hear Space Wrangler the first set was the BEST Christmas present. We had 30 peeps from Eugene and Wyoming there and when Jeff and Dave came out for ALG > Who do you belong to? and Fixin to die... maaaan... the place went nuts! Such a kick-ass time!

wow, looks amazing

Fucking great shows YMSB and WSP tore the roof off the Pepsie Center! Could not have asked for a better NYE run!

finally a review of some good music from jambase. good job folks .

see how many MMJ peeps even look at this review. lost group of people over there

Amazing sets by both bands, both nights, off the hook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CB....im diggin em both man...

Review to come?

i dunno why I ahve such disdane for MMJ. listened to one CD once... and hated it. So much in fact that I haven't even known the whereabouts of it for the last couple years after that 1st time.

Its just different music.. really a different scene. i miss that scene.. and see it disappearring into something MMJish

yonders the baaaaaaaallllls, i bet this was a great show

Corey - I've seen WSP over 150 times in the past 15 years. I still love them, but I picked MMJ this year and I'm glad I did! Why can't you love both? Why do you have to be "lost group of people over there" if you're a MMJ fan too? I'm telling ya, I love the boys, but I haven't seen a show like the MMJ NYE show in a long time from WSP. If they can start rockin' it again like MMJ did for me NYE, I'll catch 'em next time they're in the southeast in Charleston, Charlotte or ATL. But I'll travel for MMJ!! Open up babe! You should listen to that CD of yours again. In fact, just skip it and download the NYE show from archive.org. Like most, the live shows make it.

Thanks for the photos! I bet it was even colder in Denver than NYC! 20 degrees and snowing!

^ I agree. I love both WSP and MMJ. MMJ puts on one hell of a show. I've been seeing panic since '95 and MMJ since 2002. I did Denver this NYE but damn, that MSG show looked SICK! If only I could have been in two places at the same time.....

as sick as the combination of wsp and ymsb must have been. next year i would hope ymsb would headline their own NYE party (preferably in the midwest [i don't think i could take another NYE with UM])

^YMSB plays NYE at the fillmore in denver.

This show doesnt' even need a review, setlist tells the tale, it was SOOOO nasty, space wrangler first set was sick, thats why I love panic.

To all the southern folks who were bitching about the denver location, that wasnt so bad was it?

Thank you WSP for another memorable night/year, see you same place next year? I hope so.

Corey,

Try "it still moves", one of MMJ's earlier albums, much more southern/roots rock, much less of the electronic funk direction the band has gone since then. I didn't like Z or the new one that much either, but "it still moves" is still steady in my rotation. good band.

Great pics, Tobin!

Us "Southern Folks" were bitching because, over the years, we've gotten old, married, produced offspring, etc. (not so easy just to buy a ticket and head out of town these days). It sure was nice at least having a Panic show or two we could depend on at the end of the year. But, Broesau, usuns are sure glad you got your boogy on.

Sorry about the quotation marks...didn't mean to sound like an ass.

Panic was great the first night, and absolutely amazing on NYE - I may have had more fun that night than I've ever had in my entire life. Huge peaks all night long! HUGE!!

corey, who the fuck are you that we should care about your opinion? music is subjective and lots of people have different opions, who the fuck are you and what credentials do you have to make you a music expert, i have never heard of you, what band are yo in? who do you run sound for? what record label do you work for? everybody has an opinion i am confused as to why yours matters more than everybody else who doesnt like mmj and keeps it to themselves

anyway gotta love the boys cant wait to hear this show

Wow you guys are some angry hipsters. Show was nasty, hugs and smooches

great show! how bout that second night!?! they played the first 9 "original" space wrangler songs in order!!! i couldnt beleive it. and a "gimme"(12/30)!!! holy shit. these pictures dont do any justice to the stage design that night. they had a skyline pic of denver flipped upside down with trees hanging from the ceiling and clouds on the stage, unreal. also, on the 30th, they played a sick ass "the other ones" jam that was nothing short of badass. i really want a review on this, both nights

whao there diamond in the ruff ... calm down. All amped up...Arrrr ... lol

First off... i am not a music expert.. never really claimed to be (don't know where u got that)... but (I'll try to spell it out for you're dumb coked up mmj liking ass)... I do have an opinion and this is a forum, where we express our opinions... :) .... so.??? shhh :)

all i point out is that this is jambase. not music base or ... rock base... but jambase. MMJ has been touted as band of the year .. etc. Which is great.. YAY. But it is not jamband. No scene.. no touring (cus they play the same songs night in night out), no tour friends, no communal feeling, no love... none of it. Just some bitter angry people who say f*** too much (not implying anything beadiamondsomeday). Sounds like a grand time.

PS. Where did all you people come from?

Man, those are some great pics! Some of the better show pics I recall seeing. That first pic of Schools is classic.

Yeah, those pics are great!

CoreyBauer, you are making yourself look like an ass. I'm not even an MMJ fan but you sound extremely stupid and closed-minded.

I don't see pictures of MMJ here.

congratulations Denver on getting WSP for NYE, stole them from us

you did, yes.

CoreyBauer,

I agree with c00lmike, you do look like an ass, as you did on the MMJ thread. Yes this is Jambase, but in many interviews JB has told people that he himself does not consider Panic a "jamband", so why are they reviewed. I like both bands, but I will say that I have seen many more coked up fools at one panic show than all of the times I have seen MMJ. Don't hate dude, just come up with a more constructive comment(s) before you post anything.

PS- If you don't have an opinion on this forum like you say, then don't take the time to write one. Also, this show looks pretty badass.

Looks real dope. stage sounds incredible with the city hung upside down. love to see those pics jambase. stop hating on each other its getting old as hell.

agreed. no more hatin'. Feel the love I felt when some rando dude told me about 2nd nights magic-golden ticket...hidden in a planter by the rock with the big ball. Got in fo free be-otches!! excellent panic in true form.

hate hate hate hate hate hate...

This show looks sweet. I haven't seen Yonder in way too long, but those boys bring the heat time in and time out. I've seen Panic twice. I was far from impressed the first time (10KLF 2005) and liked them a lot more this past summer at All Good. Anyone have any recommendations for live or studio albums I should get my hands on to discover what all the fuss about Widespread Panic is? I'm keeping an open mind in 2009.

Corey - You're a close-minded, judgmental fool! Who ever said that just b/c this is jambase.com that all the bands they cover have to be in whatever misguided idea of the "jam" genre you've created. Look at the articles up there right now - Femi Kuti is Afrobeat, the Lee Boys are R&B/Gospel, and John Paul Jones...well anyone who'd clump that legend into a simple "jam" genre is a moron. The site is called "Jambase - Go See Live Music"! Therefore, it's about live music, ALL live music, ALL music of EVERY genre - not just what your obviously young mind considers "jam" - which in my opinion is a completely over-used title that is now so broad it doesn't even have an identity anymore.

My point is - complain to your mama if you want, but quit clogging up the comment threads w/ so much stupidity that smart music veterans like myself feel compelled to set your juvenile butt straight!

MMJ, WSP and YMSB all rock! Yea, I said it!

WoW, Jimmy flat pickin with Jeff & Adam, sickest Fixin since ARU. I have to give props to the Pepsi Center (cant believe I am saying that) security was super chill from what I could see on the floor. Sound was great for that size room and the stage set-up really brought the room together (no selling seats behind the stage and moving it up). they could have sold more tix but didnt and that is amazing. So much music so little time, you guys realize our country is one big fucking festival, quit bitching and

see as much music as you can. Whats wrong with kids these days? I wish i could have seen every NYE show but i was damn lucky to have PANIC in my backyard!

Went to both nights Panic in Denver, so glad YMSB was there. Thank God Phish and The Dead are coming back! UGH!

i wouldnt call 500-1000 free tickects being handed away a miracle

I need a private jet to fly me between Home, San Fran & Denver.

SICK! One of the best New Years ever! I didn't even have to leave town! Amazing!

i dunno .. i'd like to think jambase has a definitive audience base... not just all live music.

Britney spears? justin timberlake? metallica? beyonce? nickelback? ... i do not think jambase does or should cover these..

100% hate-free post:

Great pix! We decided to go to Hot Buttered Rum for NYE this year. It was freakin' incredible, but from what I've been hearing, it sounds like we would've had a blast at YMSB/Panic, too! We stayed at The Crowne Plaza Hotel, which I'm pretty sure achieved lift-off during BoobBox's late-night set. I saw a lot of pupils and very few irises, if you catch my drift :)

People always delete me on this - but I'll talk anyways. Atlanta is wild for NYE with Panic/ Denver, everything was quiet and closed by 1:30. Beautiful town, but dead for NYE except in the non ventilated hotel rooms. Yonder was good, but their sound just isn't meant for a HUGE Auditorium- WHILE opening for a LOUD HARD Band= Widespread Panic. Dont get me wrong before you delete me. Good shows on Both bands behalf, Glad they tried somethin new>but it wasnt the energy I paid for. Next year I'm out.

fiveyrold,

you may be right, Denver has an early last call, and doesn't rage quite as hard as atl on NYE. But, the show on NYE wasn't over til 2:30, so I don't know what you were doing in the bars at 1:30. Plus, there was all kinds of late night action, like "BoobBox", (nice) as mentioned above, Westin, etc. Personally, I was too damn tired after that looong (2 hrs plus?) panic second set & encore, and was glad to go home.

PS, boobs and box are like my two favorite things, i should check those guys out.

i am a fool ... lol... probably.. :)

but u sound like one. The website is called jambase.. go see live music.

no its called jambase. and that go see live music is relatively new (as is the layout of the website) how long you been looking at this site?

i say again.. where did all you people come from?

lol! "BoobBox." That's funny. I'm sure that if there was such a band, they'd be awesome! (I meant BoomBox)

Ahhh...Casablanca!

LOL! CoreyBauer - you actually created MoeMoeCheese just to have another name to whine under! So sad!

And yes, Jambase covers Metallica, hip-hop and all kinds of other stuff, but you wouldn't know that b/c you wouldn't click on an article that didn't have WSP, Moe., SCI or Phish in the title.

??

linsbee... so ur saying that u have read a review of these bands that moe moe talks about here? i doubt that.

why don't they put the tour dates for all music on their calendar then? (you know that window to the left that states all the shows in every area? FYI ... its just jamband music .. or music that people that listen to jamband music would listen to. No metallic, no U2, no britney, no backstreet boys, no Nsync. I know you are disappointed in this. but maybe you'll get your wish soon enough. I see jambase not that far off in its current direction.. a direction you promote. have fun with it.

AC/DC is on the calender for Pittsburgh shows tonight.

LOL! Corey, you're such a turd! I'm going to reply just one more time to prove what an ignorant turd you are so maybe you'll finally shut up. It's a site about MUSIC you myopic-music-listening-hatin'-everything-that-isn't-Phish FOOL! Bam!

LMMFAO!!!!!!!!!! Is your former name BluntBisco????

AND YOUR PROUD OF THAT.... LOL THATS WHAT IS FUNNY!

here is some real news:

June Phish Date Announced (Briefly)

Earlier today the first show of Phish's rumored summer tour appeared to be confirmed. This morning, the Live Nation site listed a January 30 on sale for a performance by the band on June 18 at the Post-Gazette Pavilion in Burgettstown, PA (the listing was removed a few hours later). This venue is the site of celebrated 7/29/03 show that saw Phish, dip back into its catalog for such songs as "Daniel Saw The Stone," "Camel Walk," "McGrupp" and "Harpua (the show later was released as part of the Live Phish 2003 series). The June 18 performance certainly is compatible with a potential appearance by the band at Bonnaroo over the prior weekend. The full tour may well be announced later this month.

the shows were great the weather was even better it was in the 50's when the show let out at 2 am on NYE! I think the 30th as a whole yonder/panic was the better night of the two. i had a blast at both though! i hope we get another great show in denver next NYE!

and ps its not that i haven't listened to MMJ. I have. i just don't like it .

How many MMJ shows u been too bud? .. truthfully

I had a grate New Years run with these bands. The city of Denver is AMAZING, and the people there are just as AMAZING as its mountains. Not to mention the parking lot scene provided all the fun and excitement a New Years run could hope for

Sold my tix to got to Glitch Mob. But 12/30 was amazing.

wow both of these shows were ridiculously firey! these were my 3rd and 4th yonder shows and 2nd and 3rd panic shows, respectively, and they were on the ball most definitely!!

i wanted to add that the second picture of schools looks like he is taking a dump and the third one looks like he just finished rofl...i love dave schools!

these shows were absolutely outta this world! I cannot even begin to explain how great it was to be there! They played til 1.30am on 12/30 amd til 2.30am on NYE. What a way to bring on 2009! Look forward for whats to come....and would love to see Phish in Burgettstown, PA BTW

corey' you ask who these 'new' jambasers are... well we've been on this site a similar amount of time and we are newbies compared to the sites age so your last point is invalid. ps go see live music was the motto for long before you joined...ass oh and go panic nye was awesome

Last time I saw Panic was when Mikey was alive and Leftover Salmon supported them on some tours. I enjoyed the night of the 30th as well and although I was working the show on the 31st, how psyched was I for all those songs from Space Wrangler?! Hooked again guys... thanks!

"The only phish I need is HERRING!"

alright corey, and any other of you myopic listeners (good use of that word man,props) you said you got mmj's cd, listened to it ONCE and then lost it cuz you hated it so much.

i am sorry but some of my absolutely most TREASURED and loved pieces of music, i had to listen to more than once to really like at all. like, shit man, i'm talkin like 5-6 FULL listens. hell i can discover new meaning to certain music every time i listen to it. you need to read up on some opinions of people you can respect (i.e. your precious keller, franti, umphreys, benevento/russo, phish, pgroove, the list goes on...) for some really spectacular insights. all these guys have a very open outlook on music, and their many influences obviously show up the music they play, that you underclassify as "JAM"

oh and to all who weren't there, i was not expecting a whole lot to this show, as i got free tickets, but it was actually really quite fun. the pepsi center was surprisingly a waay legit place to see a show. and by the way, to all you nyc goers that night, it had to be at least 45 degrees when i stepped out of the car in denver. there were fireworks goin on, no snow whatsoever, it was really just a beautiful night.

I'm proud to say that I was there.

show was insane. first 9 songs of space wrangler in order. NASTY!!!!! wish i was there. have been to the last 4 in atl. but at least my special gf bought me the show so i could at least watch the live stream. quality was great and the angles of all the camera's were very good.

hopefully the boys will come back home for next nye. but if they go back out west then this time i will have to bite the bullet and come on out.

great show, great energy. both nights completely blew my mind. the openers both nights were completely unexpected and insane. i hope wsp returns next year. if not... ill see you in georgia
