Widespread Panic Tickets

I must say we drove from Nashville to Birmingham to see the Allman Bros in doors instead of seeing them outdoors in Nashville the next week. It was really disappointing that so many of the songs that I play from the 70's were not given the time to get into those songs. Melissa, Tied to the Wiping Post along with so many great songs were not given the time to play. Maybe some day soon the Allman Brothers will play the Ryman in Nashville by themselves and not share the time with another group. Don't get me wrong Widespread Panic was rocking the house but I missed the classic's of the Allman Brothers.

The title says it all. There was a lot of energy at this concert. The fans were so excited to see Widespread Panic and the Allman Brothers. For non-smokers like myself, however, It was way too smokey. The security staff walked around the general admission area (floor) every once in a while and asked people to put out their cigarettes, but it was kind of pointless. Other than the heavy cigarette smoking, it was a great concert.

All headbanging music - not the real Allman brothers sound - I would rather listen to the CD

Music was fantastic as well as the way both bands played together.

Great show, Widespread brought their A game and the Allman's were a great show opener. Venue was chill and relaxed in the general admission area and the lines for beverages was short and sweet. Beautiful weather, beautiful night, beautiful music. Couldn't have asked for more.

Although the order went out of sequence and the Allman Bros played first, Greg and the boys did not disappoint. Their tribute to Duane was phenomenal and the music was all that one would expect from this great band. As a huge fan of guitar greats Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes and Jimmy Herring, having them all three at the same venue was exciting enough, but when Jimmy joined the Allman Bros on stage..Wow! A dream come true. Widespread Panic gave an unbelievable show too. Their sound, lighting and visuals added extra excitement. These two bands together made for an unforgettable night.

Had the ESI guy not caused us to have a beer dropped (a FULL beer- $10) it would have been a better time. The guy didn't even apologize. And there were people down by us in GA- Orchestra that shouldn't have been there (no wrist bands)- and they were smoking cigarettes in my face. Really killed my experience. The concert was good though- lots of jamming and some good ol numbers.

Extremely disappointed with the Allman Brothers Band, I came to hear the classics at $55.00 a ticket not them trying to sound like Wide Spread Panic.

This is the best I've seen the Allman Bros...EVER. They were tight and on time. Everyone at the show was having a blast, including the band. Greg sounded the best he has in years.

Was bummed that Allman's opened up but show was awesome by both!

Allman Brother's played first and were on fire. Derik was awsome on his guitar solos. Widespread Panic then finished it, and they were absolutely amazing. They are such an awsome live band. The drum solo was sick.

i DECIDED ON GOING TO THIS CONCERT BECAUSE I THOUGHT TO EXPECT ALLMAN BROS MUSIC OF THE EARLY 70'S. INSTEAD, THEIR ENTIRE SET WAS A BLUESY MIX OF OTHER ROCK SONGS DURING THAT ERA. AND IF I NEEDED TO SUM IT UP, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY IT WAS ONE HUGE JAM SESSION WITH VERY LITTLE INTERPLAY WITH THE AUDIENCE. IF I HADN'T GONE WITH SOMEONE, i PROBABLY WOULD'VE LEFT BEFORE THE BROS FINISHED PLAYING . IT ALL APPEARED LIKE SOME BAD THROWBACK TO THE 70S. I WASN'T VERY IMPRESSED. BESIDES, WHAT BAND NEEDS 4 DRUMMERS????

the whole show was really great!

Best Allman I have seen in years. Greg looked and sounded great. The whole band was on top of it's game

Good show as always loved it when the Allman Brothers had members of WIdespread come out and do Franklins Tower!!! Both bands Jammed from start to finish

I would totally recommend this festival to anyone great experience.

Great town great shows! Had a blast would go again!

The only band I really wanted to see was the Crows. They did not disappoint. They rocked for almost 2 hours and teased with songs from their upcoming album. I was surprised at what they did not play: Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution or Josephine. It was interesting to hear some of the not as known bands onthe 2 stages during the day. I paid for VIP tickets - wouldn't do that again. Not worth the $.

I thought the Forecastle festival was quit nice. The Gault House was a perfect accomodations to the festival outside the doors. The riverfront location was beautiful with sweet sunsets as Widespraed Panic was tuning up. Widespread tore the plcae down Sunday night playing a 3 hour set with no break, cranking out 24 songs in a row. You can count on seeing me again at the Forecastle Festival, espaecially is WSP will be there (or how about the Dead next summer?).

Great festival. Still small enough to enjoy. Mainstage standing/seating area was packed, but people were extremely friendly.
