It is nice to see a handful of people give back to the arts! As far as Widespread Panic in Cleveland or USTORM in Chicago? That is like pondering, something predictable in Cleveland vs. something fresh & spontaneous in Chicago?" I would take the combined USTORM line-up over another Driving Song > ? > Driving Song any ol' day!

Sorry, Panic are more like bread than wine these days.

Derhak should be on the bass, then i'd think about going.

Widespread panic over this line-up is a joke. Give ur ticket away cause thats about how much its worth and go watch some musicians that know the meaning of the word progression!

ok that settles it, I am moving to chicago in the next week. That Ustorm show plus no other thing. Anyone who doesn't see the magnitude in this scene, of this show, i am sorry. listen to moe.! listen to YMSB! and of Umphreys and Bisco!!common!!, Widespread rocks, but there is no chance that, given the option, it would take me more than 2 seconds to make my mind up about this selection.....exodus to mecca!! chicago best be prepared
