[@jbw5150]

Youngsters gather around, this is the real Panic. Awesome show with highlights from start to finish, the return of "Let It Rock", and a guest appearance from Blackmon. This one should be strongly considered for the multi-track Archives release.

[@MrMattyswift]

After that fire Nolaween they kept the peddle to the floor. Fukin Blackmon! Always crushed Macon! My 1st Last dance and LIR. Monday morning wake up, wake up... The next night in Cola 🔥⚡🔥

[@travisdennis8010]

I was lucky to get to be at this show. Right place at the right time kinda thing. Face melting time, getting down from start to finish.

97-when Mike died was peak Panic.

[@thewaker34]

I remember being in PCB in like 04 or so. I was wearing a Heaven shirt that a friend of mine had made. These two young girls were telling me how much they loved WP. I asked how long they had been listening, and they said 4 months or something. I said man, ya'll don't even remember what it was like when Mike was alive, much less when he used to stand. It went completely over their heads.

[@cl14704]

@@thewaker34 man, if they felt that way about GMac, no telling what Mike or 🧙🏼‍♂️would have had them feeling!

[@ktmidaho160]

Miss. Mikey. Panic. So much energy in there. I remember this tour so well. it's when i jumped on the bus after dabbling a show or two each year or so prior. Love jimmy, love him, but ... oh that lingering lead.

[@lukefish7562]

🎖. Truth

[@cchancy]

WOW!!!! This was my very first show!!!! I was a KA pledge at GA Southern and I had to drive some brothers there from Statesboro. Show was sold out so I had to sneak in through a side door with a $20 handshake. Thank you for posting!!!!

[@bryanthaxton]

I knew some KA's from Southern that did Panic back then. Was Brock Toole possibly one? And there was KA from Cairo, GA who was into Panic but I can't remember his name and I'm from Cairo.

[@brandonj7091]

Drove to Macon from Birmingham AL once ticketless.....thanks to a $20 handshake we rode the rail all night long!!! I love Macon GA Panic...ALWAYS GUARANTEED 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@an5925]

Brandon J Whenever I went ticketless to a show, always ended up not only getting in, but the nights were magic. Did it for Mud Island Memphis 98, Dirty Dozen played with them and we got 1st Superstition! Then dude next to us who we boogied down w/ all night ended up working for MTV and handed us after show passes! Met the band, got Mikey, JB & Jojo to sign my show poster. Crazy...and I started the night with zero money and no ticket!

[@kevinthompson410]

@@an5925 I prefer going ticketless. Used to do it all the time but can't now because my wife refuses to. The reason all the benefits happen to you is because you feel as though you are invincible. You have nothing to lose. You have already outsmarted the venue.

[@SpiralArchitect74]

1998 was a hell of a fall tour, and this show was LIT! My buddy drove from Jacksonville to stay at my house for base camp, and we all hit the east coast fall tour. His girlfriend dragged her sister along ...we have been together ever since.

[@b.patrickbrowning2349]

I was at this one, and it was fantastic! Thanks, DP! Long time no see, my friend!

[@an5925]

This show was our Bachelor/Bachelorette party! My work rented a tour bus and we filled it with 25 of our closest friends, drove from Norcross to Macon and partied like rock stars all the way there and back. Lots of XX tra special goodies...it was fuckin' epic and the best way to celebrate our upcoming wedding 💣 light fuse, get the f**k away!! And boy howdy we did!!!

[@GuitarManUpstairs]

Really appreciate you making this available!

[@unclegrass]

A hidden jewel , only viewed 139 times give it a shot it is well worth it!

[@IowaHiker]

The lady going crazy at the beginning of Greta gets me every time. The PS version also has your going nuts. Great stuff

[@Heatherswintcoaching]

That's my sister. So glad she brings you joy.

[@IowaHiker]

@@Heatherswintcoaching truly does. I have listened to the concert for years and have always enjoyed her enthusiasm! I hope you and your sister are doing great out there!

[@BossaNogi]

Sick , sick stuff. Was still recovering from two Halloweens shows in NOLA when I crapped meself yet again!

[@scottanderson2426]

Well put

[@josephlauderdale4033]

what a beautiful snapshot in time, thank you

[@brokedownwilly]

Can’t believe they went so long without playing Rock. I made the Nola shows and many others that year but missed this one. I regretted it. The Mud Island show that year was a really special one too.

[@HGZMO]

Let it Rock

[@an5925]

brokedownwilly YES! Was at NOLA, Mud Island and this show. Magic time...peak Mikey!

[@lukefish7562]

This is the beginning of my Panic years. After just seeing them for three nights in Asheville that lingering lead is still there. What a beautiful trip it’s been. WSMFP ❤️🙏🏽

[@williamwallace4337]

This is classic Panic!

[@mcarp9]

no doubt Captures the true essence of this band

[@harperjohnson5137]

I was in that crowd! Sick...

[@NOLAWSMFP1028]

God I loved these days 98 was funAF

[@HoldenOn]

I wish I could like this video more! First time I saw them was in Macon for the New Years eve shows in 1995 and been hooked ever since.

[@stevenforman3044]

sweet. Thank you for this. 💛

[@joshevans3452]

Thanks DP! Hadn't seen a video of this one.

[@pilgrims622]

+Josh Evans You're quite welcome Josh. My sister in law filmed this one and never traded it with anyone.

[@jbjohnson4308]

I tell people about this show all the time. They picked up right wherethey left off 2 dayz earlier in NOLA. This Is WSMFP off the chain in MACONGA. Hopefully they will return back where it all began.

[@brokedownwilly]

jb johnson those were two fire shows in New Orleans. I was introduced to the Dirty Dozen by Panic and I’m from Louisiana. I kept thinking they were peaking but they kept getting better almost every show up until the end of 2001.

[@mcarp9]

Love these vids! The energy created between crowd and the band is fucking magic. Thanks for sharing the memories! 🎸♥️🤘

[@tannerboyle7719]

I was there.

[@robertstroud7561]

Me too

[@dougspivey8396]

I wasn't

[@dougspivey8396]

But I like whole shows

[@markthumb5075]

Thats them - the real days, the old days. So grateful!

[@SpiralArchitect74]

I"m also grateful to have experienced the the good ol days of Mikey era panic.

[@briargoatkilla]

Hey Mikey! Me likes it!

[@maxsanford2585]

My first show❤

[@mcarp9]

Always been a classic in the Panic rotation! Ride me High certainly works up a lather.... Long live the music of Michael Houser🤘🤘☮️🎸

[@JoshMillerphoto]

1998 was a good year. The Halloween shows in New Orleans crushed. I think they did a bunch of Doors. We went to Galactic late night at Tip’s post show. Fantastic.

[@an5925]

Peace Frog!

[@cmcahill1]

That fucking Conrad is lit. It just slaps differently

[@maxsanford2585]

My first show. Got in for $50 with a Fleetwood Mac ticket I purchased from a not very trustworthy person. Didn’t even know I got ripped off until I emptied my pockets the next day

[@robertstroud7561]

Who needs video? I was at this show. I also had ticets to Frog Wings, in Macon , in December, Medeski, Martin, and Wood, in Atlanta, And Gregg at this very same auditorium on dec 27m 1998. I was in a bad car wreck, had felony warrants in another state, and, well, was in jail when I should have been enjoying some great shows. For my state of mind this was a good show. I dosed. Hey, Fat, Fat, Scott, you alive? Did you get beat up?

[@lukefish7562]

Sounds like a hoot. And Scott told me to tell you he is not only alive but lost all the weight.

[@thewaker34]

Peak Panic. From 97-Mike dying.

Mikey was the best..he could work that volume petal so well!

This is def WSMFP!!! Man I miss this shit...

[@TheYammerHammer]

For all you new fans this is widespread panic in their prime! Who you see perform now is just a remnants of what widespread panic used to be. Hence the reason why they should change their name to "widespread & company" 👍

[@seanbell4258]

Bullshit hater...seen em 200 x w mickey and over 100 w jimmy not the same but still throwing it down ...enjoy fish

[@lukefish7562]

Ridiculous if that’s what you think Mikey wanted.

Duane sure looks different
