I agree with the below comment, "stop whining" just be thankful. I can could not agree more, it is wonderful that we are getting this archive material. "Mikey" material needs to be put out, that IS Widespread Panic...especially for us 'ole schoolers. That being said, when are we going to get new releases. I know the WPA multi-track series takes some time, BUT Porch Songs according to Horace's blog on website, indicated we would have new Porch Songs downloads more often. It had been since late NOV. since Mud Isle, PLEASE bring out some new shows. Thanks..

stop whining. great show. lots of time is put into getting the music out for us cheap. quit bitching about minor flaws and be thankful for the effort that panic and their people put out so that we can enjoy the huge catalogue they have to offer for not a lot of $$.

Went to the show, actually, just ended up logging on to the site through this show, but this was a fabulous show, as was the night before. (it was very steep there on the island). Bad-ass little venue if you've never been to Memphis, it's a must do/see. Most of us have actually seen Panic there with Col. B. at some point, but I digress.. I'd visit it many times again ... Anyway, This weekend in july, during the summer of '97 turned out to be especially nice, on the band-side as well as the stand-side, everyone was in full bloom that summer. Also, the bubbles were flowing from up on high during drums, so it made it especially nice during that show/tour along the Miss. river. (All of it culminating in Montgomery, Ala., an extremely nice show, albeit quiet), but these two shows (mud isle) were pretty darn fantastic. The recordings I've listened to since then have sufficed, but I'm glad to see that the real things are out there for the general public to consume! All I've got to say is, get the Gov't Mule sets that prelude, to make it a complete show. Have fun!

Yeah, so I'd rather buy a copy. Downloading and burning everything is a pain in the ass. I think I'll pass b/c I've already got an AUD of this show. Just generally worn out on all this crap, probably forever.

These are very nice, don't mind a fade in since most older SBD have them. What I do like a great deal is the crowd noise in between songs and during songs liek Pusherman...wish you guys could master the skill of doing this on the current recordings. 2009 had some good shows, but most of these boards sounded like extended studio jams and lack the crowd noise that takes you back to the show...

I think this release is completely awesome but also was irked by the fade in to "Tall Boy". Not keeping me from downloading but nice to know on the front end.

I love the concept of "Porch Songs" and I already have my own personal list of future releases. But, that being said, I think it's terribly unprofessional not to mention in the recording notes for the show little things like "Tall Boy Fades in before the first verse" The blanket caveat you slipped into you introduction of "Porch Song" does not negate the ability to tell someone the possible and inevitable mistakes that might be on their purchases.

Horace, Brown Cat & Nugs I have the up-most respect respect for you folks but it time to step up your game.

This is aweomse... Thank you for releasing this, and I hope it continues. Sound quality is spectacular as far as I am concerned, stellar to any other recordings of these shows. Keep them coming!
