I was too young and missed all this but thankfully my dad has showed me this band. Saw my first show when I was 15 and my life has never been the same🙏🏼

[@nicoletorrance3786]

I was a phish fan first. Then I missed the ticket sale for their 99 nye show. Saw Panic instead and yes, my life changed that night forever. I was 17 that night. I'm 41 now. Still love them so much.

[@Improvise1013]

I am right there with ya. Always heard it playing as a kid, never understood what the hell all the noise was. My old man brought me when I was 16 and havent got off the bus since.

[@ckman12341]

Unfortunately I was too young for Mikey as well. My brother and I snuck out to their show at MPP in the mid 00's when we were 15 though as well, and remember dancing with the hippy glow-stick chicks and that was my intro into the Jam Band world forever haha

[@Deadhead2180]

Mikey shows hit different. Love the band but those were special. Pop sounds like good people

[@bearsgonefishing9897]

So good. I love Panic with Jimmy, but it's just not the same without Mikey. Been rolling with Panic since 93 and still going!

[@jackeminor]

With JB’s guitar actually audible in the mix, you can hear what a great player he is. Listening with my Bose headphones. Schools Nance and Houser are on fire!!

[@lukefish7562]

RIP Mikey and Todd! Thank you for the great tunes and the good times with our friends and strangers alike!

[@mygrassisblue1234]

Gaaahd DAMN...that lingering lead! Miss you Mikey!!!!

RIP Todd Nance. You will be missed and remembered dearly.

[@hunterchambers9053]

@Van Byron Wowzers it really did take only 15 minutes to get more... and I still want more! RIP TODD❤️

[@spacewrangler5866]

Todd was great recruited by Mickey. Also passed away on my birthday. RIP Todd thanks for you twos

[@WhiskeySam1]

He had such a distinctive drumming style and was such an integral part of their sound. Almost all of my steering wheel air-drum fills came from Todd. RIP

Housers lingering lead and a vaccine has gotten me through pandemic so far. RIP Mikey WE MISS YOU! An honest tune with a lingering lead, has taking me So Far"

[@iankenney6856]

awesome line brah.. LOVE It

[@evertking1]

How's that vaccine working... Lol

[@jackstraw4129]

This seems to be a Halloween Show. In the beginning those were always special and held at the Georgia Theater in Athens. Then one year it was Missoula, MT. It was heartbreaking but they were growing.

[@dope7473]

When I first looked at this, I was like damn this looks old, then I see Mikey sitting down, and im guessing this is around 2000, and my first show was Y2Kish....Just had one of those moments where im like WTF thats 22 years ago....am i old? Either way, thankful I got into some great music as a kid, Id gladly give up all those braincell again to do it all over again

[@DukeFame88]

Holy shit.!!

[@gretchenpike4990]

Epic

[@iankenney6856]

He may not have been as flashy on the solos as Jimmy is now, but that is part of his brilliance, The Lingering Lead 'Mikey' Houser, was and still is WSP at its core and at its BEST. RIP brah

[@GM-ie2zl]

machine gun herring. he does great and does the music justice and thank goodness we have him. but mikey was soul and air letting the band breathe

[@johnthornton4266]

It was his band He was playing the song and he was leaving room for the other guys to be heard. Jo Jo and Dave were all capable of playing lead at any time

[@SleepyJoesDiaper]

Houser was incredible, Herring is just a guy

[@kgpaint]

Pretty kickass jamming.

This is unreal. Venue and crowd look amazing! Do we know what year this was?

[@barragin9893]

would guess mid 90's. I saw them Greensboro 93 and the guitarist was still standing. By 95 he was sitting, Wofford College SC.

[@JohnBell21]

This is 10/31/2000. Its an Austin City Limits recording which used to take place on the campus of UT.

[@jacksoncarter3964]

@@barragin9893 wait, what about Wofford College? did you see them in spartanburg? I went to Wofford and I would love to relisten to anything they played in the upstate

Why the guitar swap for Houser at 15:19? A broken string, perhaps?

[@Landonismo]

do we know what year this is? fire setting

[@tannerboyle7719]

2000

[@fastmtnbiker]

I wasn't watching....just listening. When I clicked play, all I saw was the 2017 date. Then I'm listening....thinking....Jimmy is totally channeling Mikey. Then I'm like no way that's fucking Jimmy. Then I get up and look at the video and there's Mikey all hunched over his guitar with his hair in his face. I was bummed when I realized how much wishful thinking I had.

[@smitty31560]

Is that the original drummer?

[@casseyeaton4497]

saw the Dutch presptqearian church blk Tclb. 33

[@stephenmathes1]

keyboards seem way off in the beginning ?

Needs the violin bad imo

[@haroldoftherocks6586]

An opinion I respect, but completely disagree with. Nothing ruins Driving Song like 'fiddle'. Nails on a chalkboard. Turns an awesome rock song into something out of Hee Haw. I'll take my Mike Houser uncut, don't need anyone fiddling around with something that already works great. Miss you Mike, you were always my favorite.

[@1023Endurance]

[@ScottStLouis-fu3lz]

Nance was ok but the band will never be the same without mikey!

[@iwilldestroyu69]

Yes....Nance comment they sold him out ! A band is brotherhood...how do junkies kick a man for not getting clean as the same time as them 🤔

Doesn't even sound together
