Widespread Panic has shared professionally-shot video of Fish Michie’s sit-in on a cover of J.J. Cale’s “Ride Me High” from the Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville on September 6:
Widespread Panic played the second show of a two-night stand at Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville Sunday night. Their second performance at the new venue included a guest appearance by Mississippi-born, Nashville-based pianist Jim “Fish” Michie who joined the band for two songs in the second set.
Panic led off the night with “Can’t Get High” and continued with a “Chilly Water” > “Mr. Soul” > “Chilly Water” pairing. A run of classics, including “Let’s Get The Show On The Road,” “Bear’s Gone Fishin’” and “Ribs & Whiskey,” preceded the newer “Steven’s Cat.” The opening set then closed with a “Big Wooly Mammoth” > “Love Tractor” combination.

Michie – formerly of the Mississippi-band The Tangents – emerged mid-second set to add keys to J.J. Cale’s “Ride Me High,” and stuck around after it transitioned into ”Arlene.” The local pianist left WSP to close out the show with “Junior,” “Bowlegged Woman” (this first of the year) and “Fishwater” which included an “Another One Bites The Dust” tease. The encore was constructed out of “May Your Glass Be Filled,” “Travelin’ Light” and “North” ending the band’s debut run at Ascend Amphitheater.
