Widespread Panic has just released the 22nd and 23rd installments of their Porch Songs Live Archives Series. The series, beloved by fans, picks up with the band near the tail-end of their 2000 Fall Tour with a two-night run in Memphis, TN at the Mid-South Coliseum. Though the band has since returned to the venue three years running, this live recording marks their first visit. Highlights include sit-ins from the brothers Dickinson, Luther and Cody, with song highlights including “Vacation”, “Sleeping Man” “Let It Rock” and “Aint’ Life Grand” encores.

The band also recently hosted their annual Tunes For Tots benefit at the Atlanta Symphony Hall.
