By proclamation from hizzoner Mayor Hickenlooper June 27th, 2008 is officially "Widespread Panic Day" in the City and County of Denver.
There's a short writeup in the Rocky Mountain News about the band and why they are being honored,
Red Rocks has seen legendary shows by The Beatles, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Jimi Hendrix and countless others. But it's jam band Widespread Panic of Athens, Ga., that'll extend the record this weekend for the most shows played and the most tickets sold.
Sunday's final show in the three-night stand will be Widespread's 32nd consecutive sellout of Red Rocks.
"They've outdone the Dead. They've outdone Willie Nelson. They've outdone everybody," said promoter Bill Bass...
The run started May 31, 1996, and shows no sign of ending.
See you on the Rocks this weekend.
Here's a nice clip of Panic doing the Jimmy Cliff classic "The Harder They Come"
