This week, we take trip back 15 years to 2002 for the final spring tour of Michael Houser’s tenure in Widespread Panic. By the time April 2002 rolled around, rumors were fairly rampant about his health, and of course, were confirmed when he left the band in July, and sadly passed away in August. Spring tour was a short little seven show jaunt through the band’s original stomping grounds, the good ole American South. The tour began with a raucous two-night stand in Raleigh, followed by one-offs in Asheville and Savannah, and closed out with an epic three-nighter at Oak Mountain. We kick it off this week with a raunchy version of “Ride Me High” from 4/20/02, and close it out with the “A of D > Cream Puff War > Fishwater” opener from 4/26/02, plus some great tracks in between.
