Topics Discussed:

  • Jeff's review of Eggy at Overton Park Shell in Memphis - comparing them to "5/8ths speed Phish" with surprisingly slow guitar work

  • Harvey's third Sunday-only Red Rocks experience, getting emotional during "Wonderin" and "Last Straw"
  • Detailed breakdown of Red Rocks setlist featuring Chuck Leavell's guest appearance and the debut of "Comfortably Numb"
  • The band's 75th show milestone at Red Rocks and Ted Rockwell's effusive praise for the Jessica from night two

  • Second set: Pigeons > Pleas, Conrad, Dead Flowers (Stones cover with Chuck Leavell), Ribs and Whiskey, Surprise Valley > Tie Your Shoes > Surprise Valley
  • Encore: Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd debut), End of the Show

Technical Updates:

  • Home Team FM now streams panic shows with lossless audio sourced from Archive.org
  • Multiple source options available for new shows
  • 24/7 live radio stream featuring panic influences and live material

Personal Moments:

  • Harvey's emotional reaction to the "mass of humanity" visible from Red Rocks upper seats
