Watch Widespread Panic Cover Neil Young’s ‘Are You Ready For The Country?’ In 2011

Widespread Panic shared a series of pro-shot videos filmed on July 3, 2011 at Grand Targhee Resort Amphitheater in Alta, Wyoming. The sextet’s cover of the Neil Young classic “Are You Ready For The Country?” is among them.

July 3, 2011 marked the band’s third and final concert of a three-night run at the scenic Wyoming venue. Keyboardist JoJo Hermann led Panic through “Are You Ready For The Country?” as part of an encore that also included “May Your Glass Be Filled” and “Papa’s Home.”

Neil Young originally released “Are You Ready For The Country?” in 1972 on his iconic Harvest album. Widespread Panic debuted their cover of the song on April 30, 2003 at Tallahassee Leon Civic Center in Tallahassee, Florida. “Are You Ready For The Country?” has been performed sporadically by WSP ever since. The most recent version took place on August 23, 2019 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and was the band’s 28th live version of “Are You Ready For The Country?” as per Everyday Companion.
