Widespread Panic Cover Talking Heads With Heads
Widespread Panic set up camp for three nights this past weekend at Oakland, California's Paramount Theater.
The Southern rockers from Georgia are something of a jamband archetype, stretching out songs in new ways each night while never repeating the same setlist twice.
During opening night, Panic covered the Talking Heads' 'Life During Wartime' with help from two unnamed musicians who sauntered onstage with little fanfare. The band waited until the end of the show to announce the guests as Wally Ingram and original Talking Heads keyboardist, Jerry Harrison.
Panic closed the run with a nod to their Bay Area surroundings by covering the Grateful Dead's 'Cream Puff War.' Unfortunately, they were not able to bring any of the four late Grateful Dead keyboardists onstage to help out with that one.
