Widespread Panic Deliver “Porch Song” Bookends For Night Two in Atlanta

2:38 PM EST on December 31, 2018

  On Sunday night, Widespread Panic continued their New Year's Run with night two of three at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, GA. After opening with a slow version of the Panic staple "Porch Song," the band offered a couple of seasonally appropriate tunes in "Chunk of Coal" (the song's first appearance since Panic's NYE run in 2016) and "Christmas Katie," which featured an "Action Man" interpolation. Set two included more live favorites like "Rebirtha," "Climb to Safety" and the set-closing crowd favorite "Tall Boy," before Panic returned to the stage for a three-song encore. Following "Pickin' Up the Pieces" and "Proving Ground," the group surprised the audience with another full run of "Porch Song" (a faster, "Back Porch" version as opposed to the "Front Porch" opener), marking the first time the song has ever been played twice in its entirety in the same Panic concert. See last night's full setlist below. Widespread Panic will close out their run tonight at the Fox with their annual New Year's Eve performance.   Widespread Panic Fox Theater, Atlanta, GA Set I: Porch Song > Chunk of Coal, Christmas Katie > Action Man > Christmas Katie > Radio Child, Gradle, Cotton Was King, Big Wooly Mammoth > Love Tractor Set II: Hatfield, Surprise Valley > Tie Your Shoes > Blue Indian, Rebirtha > Jam > Ribs & Whiskey, Sleeping Man, Climb To Safety, Tall Boy Enc: Pickin’ Up The Pieces > Proving Ground > Porch Song Notes: *Last time played 12/29/16 Source: panicstream.com
