Hey Now,
I had planned on posting an archive update a few weeks ago, but I’ve been busy...reading all of your emails. My request for archive release suggestions certainly unleashed a frenzy of pent-up energy...as your passion for Widespread Panic and this archive project came through loud and clear - Even from as far away as New Zealand. I had also planned on responding to the majority of those emails, but that idea was short-lived as I had to make a conscious decision to spend my time listening to archive material.
You’ll be happy to know that my listening time has produced results, as we are now a good way down the road on the 3rd release. After considerable analysis, I’ve narrowed it down to a few feasible performances from which one will be picked. Add a little engineering magic to dial all those levels in just right...then it’ll be ready for announcement and pre-sale.
http://www.imeem.com/widespreadpanic/playlist/jlSfI_ef/112398-wyep-913fm-studios-pittsburgh-pa-music-playlist/I’m also developing other ways to give everyone a chance to enjoy some other angles the archives have to offer. Hopefully by now you have noticed the link above I thought was worthy of presentation. As I continue to sift through the archive material, I am sure to find other audio and video sources that will find their way to this page. Over time, we should be able to develop quite a collection of randomness and give our community a glimpse of some cool things they might not have experienced otherwise. These selections might not always be worthy of a 10+ quality rating, but so what? Simply put, material such as this deserves to be pulled out of the box to get a little air and exercise...so, enjoy.
Please keep those comments and suggestions coming to
archives@widespreadpanic.com. I need some more reading material.
See you in Orlando and Orange Beach,
Horace
