due to the fact that life happens, i have been unable to attend a live show since the turn of the century. i live vicariously through these show recordings, stories from folks who were there and the posts i see on this site and others. that said, this is the best nye show that i have heard in years. total energy. hope to catch these guys in the flesh in the coming year.

Another great end to another great year. Both shows were superb. I thought this show really took off during the Machine and through the Worry to the end of the second set. The third set is simply off the hook from the beginning. I don't think I have ever heard a better Time Is Free, and any encore with Pilgrims and Red Hot Mama is going to set me up right. Thanks for the music!

Sorry people that say the 30th was better. Great show....lots of intensity...great crowd...well played....!!! ... BUT!!!.....
NYE was simply the shit!!!!!! The band was high and mighty and I ought to know.......I went to school with them in Athens and saw many a bar tab explode for them in thier early years....Very proud and have always said to the wannabeees......get a grip.....don't be too serious 'cause the shit will bite you!!!! NYE was played on a different level....Period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Wooly ~> To each, their own, and don't get me wrong the 30th was a verrrry strong HOT show ... esp. love the 'Durty Bizz' bustout, but it was the 'TYS> Walk On> North> Papa's' that was PURE HEAT .... 'Ribs' was slip-slidin' psychedelic bliss/madness, oh & the 'Fixin' freight train -wow- meant that the Sunday night WP "Revival" was in full effect ..... 'Slippin' was dark and naaasssstty as ever w/ EXCEPTIONAL playing & interplay, but it was one of my all time fav's that brought the house down ~> "R O C K" was incredible, ethereal and just plain siiiiickness.
.... back to the 'don't get me wrong'-part, the 30th was quite HOT - agreeeed w/o arguement at all ..... but to say it was better than the 31st ?!?!?! Surely you left your mind at your hotel room during the NYE show - NYE, 1st NOTE TO THE LAST NOTE, WAS SIMPLY, AS GOOD AS "IT" GETS WITH PANIC -period- .... it was out of this f'ing world in comparison .... IMHO, that is.
It seems like I am faaaaaar from the only one to disagree, but at least you got what you wanted/needed and that is all good with me !

We couldn't go to hotlanta to see, but sat "up all night" to listen on Sirius. I could see them on stage in my mind. What a way to end the year. Kudos to all you lucky dogs that got to be there. Can't wait to see them again. I need my Panic fix!!!!
