boys have been on some serious vacation.....which they deserve. is it just me or is anyone else getting the itch for these dates...if there are any? just funny how there is no word from the home team except for the 2 live discs.....so if they do release dates we are looking at what? summer dates cause they gotta give us at least 3 weeks to prepare...i guess i just miss my jacket.

We're not going to get a tour this year.  Maybe a one-off date here and there, but no tour.

I'd love to be wrong.

@bugman:  you could've gone to see them if you hadn't spent all your $#@!*% money on 10 yearly Widespread Panic shows.

I remember in '06 they announced the fall tour right around May or June, so if it's gonna happen, the announcement shouldn't be too far off.

At the very least I think they will play a Louisville Thanksgiving show and a New Years show, but the New Years show will be somewhere very remote so as no one from this board will be able to afford to go.  Somewhere like...THE MOON.  
You need it.  That's for sure.

@splatonyourface.....the panic plays 125 shows a year. jacket around 60...you do the math...im a lover of live music....and i do believe i spent my money on moving to fucking jackson. for those who are not familiar with jackson, ms.....NO LIVE MUSIC SCENE...unless you dig the bar band...in which that case...go see graball freerun at martins this thursday april 9th!

i got the gas money if you got the ride....SEE YA ON THE MOON BITCHES!

@bugboy

oh, i seem to remember you going on some spur of the moment shows a month before the Louisville show.  You're lack of commitment to the jacket yielded an xtra show in Nashville (top 5 Jacket show) for me, so it's all good.

You need it.  That's for sure.

i'm praying for a spot on the acl line-up. if they're gonna be there, so will I, no questions. and i have a hard time getting the energy for festivals, but anything for these guys.

Not the one thing. I used to think I

Damn it, BH...you are the fucking man!  Some might think, "why is that information important?"  But there are some of us that really appreciate that kind of knowledge.  Thanks, bro.   :)

you're the man, thats all i gotta say
Oh I'll never say I knew you, but my heart can't wait to meet you on the other side

BH

Ha!  Thanks guys, it's just my fanboyism coming thru! ;)  (That and my obsession of having to calculate and put numbers and sequence and order to everything that I love.)

If you throw out 1999 and 2009, that is an average of 76 full band shows and 10 Jim Solo shows per year.
