Widespread Panic closed out their three-night run at The Riverside Theater in Milwaukee, WI, on Sunday night, offering a number of live staples plus a couple of choice covers that the band hadn’t played in multiple years.

After a first set that featured a cover of Curtis Mayfield’s “Pusherman,” Panic returned for a second frame that featured a couple of bustouts, including the first “Dirty Business” since October 2016. Two songs later, bassist Dave Schools led the way on vocals for a cover of the Bob Dylan-penned classic “All Along the Watchtower.” Panic later rounded out the night and the weekend with a set-closing “Climb to Safety” and a two-song encore of “Dream Song” and “Porch Song.”

Earlier in their Milwaukee run on Friday night, Panic closed out their opening show with a two-song encore that began with a cover of Bloodkin’s “Quarter Tank of Gasoline,” which the band hadn’t played since February 2016, also at Riverside Theater.
