Widespread Panic kept their three-night run at Colorado's famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre rolling on Saturday evening with a second performance that saw the band continue to offer live cuts that had been shelved for years.
Last night's show opened with the Panic staple "Ain't Life Grand," with frontman John Bell swapping his usual guitar for a mandolin. A couple songs later, the group offered their first live take on "Dark Bar" since February 2012, weaving it into their rendition of "Good People."
After opening set two with another favorite, "Climb to Safety," Panic reached even further back for a bustout cover of Allen Toussaint's "On Your Way Down," which hadn't seen a Widespread setlist since New Year's Eve 2011. Later, Bell once again picked up the mandolin for the first tune of the encore, "End of the Show," which was followed by the night-closing "Protein Drink/Sewing Machine."
Check out the full setlist below as it appears in our Box Scores section, along with pro-shot video of each set opener via the nugs.tv webcast. Widespread Panic wrap up their 2019 Red Rocks run tonight.
