Widespread Panic - "Space Wrangler" [Live From Austin, TX]

[@runescapebanker]

Caught the bug in Tulsa in '93, loved these boys ever since. The late 90s shows are something I will cherish til the day....

[@karlcherry]

Heard "Pleas" on the radio when it had just been released, and was immediately blown away, and I have been a fan ever since!

[@roberthaviland9922]

I miss Houser, he made that telecaster sound like a violin.......RIP Mike

[@dustinbasham393]

No kidding. He died on my birthday 😪 8/10. Panic hasn't been the same since. They're still great but there is undeniable MAGIC with Mikey

[@jeffsimpson7215]

He sure did

Rip Todd

[@MDFilipiak]

I haven't listened to any music from WP since Mikey passed. I can't

[@FMJTAC24]

@@MDFilipiak well I have tix for NYE but ya boy has 4 cracks in his arm. I’m ruined. Just just praying about that water down milk they have at Walmart ); Mmm you have tu keep tears.

[@chuckryan6065]

I come back to this clip quite often.

[@GhostTownOutdoors]

I saw this on Austin City Limits when it first aired. It was amazing, for however long the show was on it was like magic. It defined that period of my life, almost like I was supposed to see it, RIP Mike, because it really made my life, and I'm sure many others, better for having seen it. Many shows and many miles later I'm still listening to Panic, and always will.

[@karlcherry]

Amen!

[@sparkmedia9061]

Schools' bass line on this song is epic! The camera doesn't give him much attention but just listen! He drives the song but never gets in the way. Awesome!

[@ComradeLeonTrotsky]

Very cold beer.

[@jgfunk]

@@ComradeLeonTrotsky 5:27 yup!

[@ajschroetlin2196]

One of the most underrated/overlooked bassists ever.

[@RXforJazz]

I'm sorry I didn't know you, Mikey, but you made a HUGE difference in my life. Thank you. With Love. Raise the Roof.

he was my only unmet friend,so thought i.panic stream vault fox theater in 96 sit an ski. and im not a fan of chainsaw city? skol go

[@j.b.lickums4032]

Me n my crew in ROCK HILL SC burnt this album up when it first came out, turned a lot of people on and changed a lot of lives. Still see em when I can, just saw em two nights in Charleston SC last summer. Still gettin my groove on in my Charlie Brown shirt. Showin the kids how to get down

[@swvamarksman1834]

This is the first time I’ve listened to Widespread Panic. How?!? This is effin’ awesome

[@Barbarjinkies]

Welcome brother, my 1st show was in Richmond 4/2000!

[@ptuffgong8504]

Welcome my friend. They are a breath of fresh air. Don't know how many times I've seen them. They are the real deal

[@alexgalloway3690]

Just wait 'til you see 'em live...hook, line, sinker

[@dougshelby939]

Yeah... especially back then. Not saying Jimmy can't play, dude he might be one of the best guitar players ever. But.... he's not Michael Houser Same thing goes for the young dude that replaced Todd... These guys were unfairly compared to the Grateful Dead and that's frankly an insult to both of them. These dudes are some good ol country boys that are Southern as it gets. The Grateful Dead were some California hippies that held press conference in their own house in order to laugh more and show everyone how much they cared about getting busted for wtfe they got caught with ridiculous small amount left, something like a joint and half couple roaches and a few seeds and stems in the ashtray and felt like they needed to reassure everyone that they had already smoked up the rest and then got back to laughing and having fun. The only similarities to the bands are A. There's a certain energy leading up to, definitely during, and afterwards there's anticipation of when and where the next show is. And B. too many died young, but God takes the good first seems like, Ya know? And the reason why it's the first time hearing them is because they have nearly zilch commercial radio exposure, and are genuine musicians that play for the joy of it all and not some lame crap about allllllll the dudes that have been such dicks and terrible to her when it was the other way around but now she can move on to the next victim, I mean dude fortunately for only her and poison the minds of a lot of 12yr old little girls she's convincing it's okay to idolize her being a damn whore. I don't think I need to speak that sellout to the devil's name. You think hearing is good, Try seeing it too 👍✌️😎

[@stevenpyron5826]

First Mikey now Nance...I'm a sad Panic fan today but watching the boys always brings a smile to my face

[@westburyadam]

Mikey was "Panic". Enough said. Grateful for who's still here though and Jimmy's contribution to the music. :) Peace

[@nsingleton11]

I've been listening to panic since '97 and yeah...... still goosebumps..........Thank you Mikey. Why worry when you can PANIC.

[@TalmadgeGray]

Corey Singleton ‘91 veteran here....never gets old brother!! Long live the lingering lead!🔥🔥

[@cardolianez]

1991 here.

[@alexgalloway3690]

Hey Corey, if you ever want a sticker that says as much, just drop me a line. [e-mail] Almost 20 years and I miss Mikey just as much as I did back then. RIP friend, will never forget the memories you provided.

[@jeremymoorer7033]

My 1st , 92'

[@davisleemiles3113]

Ahh yes ‘97, that wasn’t the exact time but it was definitely around that time that Michael Jordan was wrapping up his wonderful and immaculate career, playing Basketball for Coach Phil Jackson and the Chicago Bulls. Jordan was a Shooting Gaurd, that’s a position. He didn’t even play for near as long as some of these other greats, yet he outdid them all with a very wide margin. All the more impressive considering the shorter career. Michael Jordan was and is and always will be the Best Basketball Player EVER. I’m doing my best to steer clear of using the term G.O.A.T. considering its Luciferean ties. We don’t want to hold The Great MJ above Yahweh by no means. MJ’s great but he’s not God, don’t forget that people... he’s still human. #23 Yes yes yes

[@chriswurm635]

Houser's solos and basic sound ( especially on imitation leather shoes and Chilly water ) are hypnotic and mesmerizing. He was among my favorites. Gone at 40 years; Mike, we hardly knew ye. So tragic.

[@threeinitiates8260]

Housers solo starting at 6:20 always gets me, his tone is just so dang good. Also special shout out to the bass

[@homeytube1]

Possibly one of the greatest southern rock songs ever written.

[@JamShack817]

sounds like some familiar riffs in there. very familiar, can't remember where though

[@webbmcw3883]

@@JamShack817 Alman Brothers?

[@WayexXXx]

Reminds me of my son. Years after I Saw panic in the streets in early 2000’s still incredible!

[@TalmadgeGray]

Been a fan since early 90’s. This band is the best!! I can’t count the shows I have seen....and I’m going to BJCC in February to see my boys once again!! 🎸

[@DaddyisPROUD]

LOVE Space Wrangler! "..dance differant with familiar grace" My daughter and I dance to this with beautiful grace...through all years of Panic.

[@justinwooten7693]

that solo at the end gives me goosebumps - the part where the crowd goes wild is just so awesome

[@RedBaron969]

Raise it High High High. My first show was in The Grove @ Ole Miss in '89. A whole lot has changed since then, I love it all.

[@moomonster5942]

No words.. as good as it can get.

[@hankscorpio1x1]

I taped this when it debuted and I played it so many times it ruined the tape. I miss that lingering lead.

[@heatherelizabeth27]

I need these boys in my life right now!

[@Jameslopez5682]

Hello heather how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family

[@mattasbury5250]

The song that they opened this show with, LGDTB, still remains one of Mikey's finest guitar moments. Goosebumps and tears every time.

[@MrJscalzo]

Houser 4-Life

[@georgiaflynt]

So freaking sweet!! I’ve turned in since 1990!

[@jb5624-j6u]

Of all the times I've watched this I've never noticed how much Todd goes off at the end. He was so underrated. Go back and listen to Valdosta and you'll hear how good and tight he was.

[@jpmcconaty]

Seeringly hauntingly good run by Michael there

[@cosmiccharly1]

Ignorance is Bliss!!!!!! Panic is rolling into the future Brightly with Jimmy and you can tell the band likes the direction.

[@RodneyWoodstock]

I still love WSP, always will, but they lost a beauty/flow/rhythm with loss of Mr Houser. It was a sound that made them unique. If you were lucky to seem them with Mikey and through their transition of finding a replacement guitarist you know what I’m talking about. RIP

[@aaronwimberleymbamsf5776]

Classic & timeless=] Best show I've seen live was @ the Chesterfield Cafe in Paris Spring of 1998. Got to have drinks post show with JB in the basement.

[@kennyjohnson3837]

Hung out with JB lil at the American Hotel in Amsterdam while we're waiting for the taxi ... that was the day of the Paradiso show... glad I got in and got my DAT patched in just in the knick of time... awesome show awesome speaking to Mikey on the streets .. love the early memories ❤

ACL always has the best live versions, including this one. I'm not saying this is the best live version of Space Wrangler, but it is the best live version on youtube

[@flaytongatewood1926]

I'm pretty sure there is still a Panic, and they are rocking and rolling whether or not you are my friend.

That break has never, and will never, be the same wave that I fell in love with. 2001 AD. Don’t make it less groovy. Only different today. Bless all of y’all. Even you George. I’ve got love for you. Roll Todd. Be nice to each other.

My god, what kind of guitar is that? It sounds phenomenal.

[@jodyb3491]

Took someone 3 years to answer, but appears to be a fender telecaster.

[@lpearce7]

Easily the best version I've found on KZbin. From about 6:19+ it's as good as it gets

[@Barbarjinkies]

So awesome the way he took off and it took a bit for the band to catch up!

[@erickjanich6800]

this song was one of their most together. WOW what connection . Jesus Christ nipples You got to be kidding me. never to be reduced

[@iamatt]

ACL is by far the best venue I have ever been to.

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

1st heard WSP on Bonaroo video. Mikey reminded me of guitar player in Country Joe and the Fish. I wanted to hear more. Then I learned he already passed away.

[@flatpicker75]

I'm genuinely curious to know what WSP fans who never saw Mikey think of this performance, or Houser, in general. Not asking to judge, just wondering.

[@JT-bp1yb]

Just missed seeing mikey. Discovered and saw them live 04. Blew my mind away, been hooked since. Love them with Jimmy, cant complain. But I always listen to shows with mikey. Just a different feel with him. Sooo much more fluid. Really wish I got to see them with him. RIP Mikey

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

I only listen to the Mikey WSP

[@diamonddhk222]

somebody suggested i was an activist for liking wsp- i say -no-not an activist but thanks for the compliment for loving the band!!!!

[@cinred0880]

goosebumps!

[@maxreed4010]

Yep. This was it.

[@brainscott8198]

I think this is from 2000...i remember watching this on a Saturday night thinking they sounded like a combination Allman Bros and Santana at times... wondering why the amazing guitar player was sitting down. Then i found out why...RIP Houser
