Bluest Tape

Hosts Harvey Couch and Jeff Kollath recap Widespread Panic's continued West Coast run through Bend, Oakland, and Sacramento, plus some fun retro tangents before diving into current shows.

• Deer Creek 7/8/01 video coming to YouTube by Sandbox channel (missing encore); official premiere drops next Tuesday 7/28/26
• Harvey attended his first-ever Wilco show at The Burl in Lexington - set interrupted by severe weather, second set became "hits-laden" after the delay
• World Cup recap: both hosts fine with the final result, noted Argentina's goalie carried the team

• Airplane opener night one in Oakland
• Mercy > Schoolgirl > King Baby > Fishwater closing set two
• Four-song run all starting with "Little" on night two
• Vampire Blues played after friend-of-the-pod artist Mark Spusta suggested it to Dave backstage - "it would be cool if..." request that actually landed
• Ride Me High opener (rare - maybe 2-3 times ever) into Proving > Action Man

• JB's charming lyric-flub on Let's Get the Show on the Road, inverting verses on Bear's Gone Fishing - time for a teleprompter?
• Mysterious dead-air moment mid-Bear's Gone Fishing suggesting a possible audience medical situation
• Nick playing slide on Barstools
• Dave Schools "soapbox" moment during Floozy - part rap, part "let's all love each other," with a "Sacramento Tuesday night" shoutout
• Contentment > Conrad opener noted as matching the exact same two songs that closed the band's only previous Sacramento show (1991, opening for Blues Traveler) - "berk" (coincidence) or intentional nod
• Diner > Fishing > Pilgrims transition called the highlight of the run - "splendid," "almost perfect"
• Fishing's return to rotation praised as a great "vibe rider" - not a set-killer

West Coast Tour concludes with 3 nights in LA. Both hosts hope for a proper Midwest or Southern tour next, reminiscing about old-school spring tour stops like Starkville and Johnson City.

Harvey:

• Beartown by Fredrik Backman (Swedish hockey-town drama, first of a trilogy)
• London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe - true crime story with a bit of history of London

Jeff:

• Dark Side of the Ring (Vice) - wrestling documentary series
• A specific AEW Collision six-man tag match (Conglomeration vs. Outrunners vs. Dalton Castle) - "sometimes it takes a handful of talented individuals to do the bits right"

• "It's not like there's one great moment of the show — there's multiple moments, which is awesome." - Harvey
• "We need to find something to argue about... there's no conflict." - Jeff, after agreeing on Goose and now Nick Johnson

Personal Notes: Jeff heading to his 30-year high school reunion in Wisconsin; Harvey heading to Disney World.

After a 6-month hiatus, hosts Harvey Couch and Jeff Kollath return with a packed episode covering Widespread Panic's western tour, a Goose show in Birmingham, and Harvey's surprise announcement: he's running for Midway, Kentucky city council.

Jeff declares Nick Johnson his 2nd favorite guitarist in band history (behind George McConnell) after the Red Rocks run. Both hosts note Nick has moved past "Jimmy copycat" tone into his own sound - compared to Mike Houser's early experimentation with pedals/effects. Harvey: Mike also wasn't perfect, and that unpredictability is part of what's exciting now.

• Postcard after Colorado Music Hall of Fame induction - "grungy and dirty"
• Maggot Brain as a "guitar player showcase song" - Nick "killed it"
• Heroes returned after 105 shows (first since April 2023)
• Stop Go played for first time in ages
• Band inducted into Colorado Music Hall of Fame; jazz tribute set discussed

• Dwayne Betts (local resident) sat in for Mountain Jam and Bowlegged Woman
• Rebirtha discussion: Harvey traces the song's lyric origin to October 2nd, 1994 at Red Mile Racetrack, tied to the MLB strike/lost World Series

• Classic set construction returning: Please opener, mid-set Hatfield, Me and the Devil > Heaven encore
• Second night: rare "I'm So Glad" opener, strong Holden/Impossible run into Rockin' Red > Impossible > Drums > Nobody's Fault > BMD > Chilly Water

Both hosts express excitement about an actual multi-week tour format returning (vs. weekend residencies), creating better flow and unpredictability in setlists. Upcoming: Bend, 3 nights Oakland (Fox Theater), 3 nights LA, a sold-out midweek club show in Sacramento, Atlantic City, Wilmington, 2 nights Mempho, 3 nights Milwaukee (likely Halloween).

The guys have been revisiting summer '96 shows including Tipitina's (6/25-6/26) with no AC, and Cincinnati Zoo, which "crushes everything."

Jeff and Harvey caught Goose at Coca-Cola Amphitheater the week before Panic's shows there. Highlights: Dripfield, Arrow, State of the Art (Jim James cover), big Madhuvan, Jed Stone. Discussion of Goose's family-friendly crowd compared to Panic/Phish shows, and their strong video production quality.

Harvey defends Goose's new record's 80s pop-influenced direction after a conversation with a younger fan who preferred their Dripfield-era sound: "I want to see them evolve, try new things... they might not all work, but why not?"

Harvey announced his candidacy for Midway, Kentucky city council (population 1,600). Key details:

• 8 candidates running for 6 open spots (5 incumbents, 1 open seat)
• Nonpartisan race; election in November
• Campaign site: couchformidway.com
• Ballot position #2
• Hot local issue: whether to allow golf carts on city streets
• Jeff jokingly offers unsolicited campaign advice (union print shops for yard signs)

Harvey (on a reading kick after a Project Hail Mary audiobook):

• The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
• Challenger by Adam Higginbotham (author of Midnight in Chernobyl) - "flushes out" the characters behind NASA's slow march toward disaster

Jeff:

• Star City (Apple TV+) - For All Mankind spinoff following the Soviet space program in an alternate history; no direct crossover needed with the original series

• "I like hearing that they're not a Widespread Panic featuring Jimmy Herring cover band." - Jeff
• "Number 2 on the ballot, number one in your heart." - Harvey on his campaign

Harvey briefly started and ended a board gaming podcast during the hiatus. Harvey will miss Mempho this year due to a 50th birthday trip to Europe with his wife. Both pledge (again) to record more frequently with the band's return to regular touring.

Episode recorded January 6th, before Thursday's announcement about Jimmy being unable to tour. Nick Johnson confirmed as touring guitarist.

Billy Strings' Statement: Billy revealed he was on standby for New Year's: "I came ready to play as much or as little as they needed me... Jimmy absolutely killed it... Nick Johnson is an absolute monster on the guitar and will handle the reins until Gandalf the Loud can get back in the saddle."

Night 1 - December 29:

• Billy joined for final portion of second set
• Fishwater > Surprise Valley > Fishwater with tempo changes
• Jimmy and Billy "played around each other" rather than traditional call-and-response

Host Reactions:

Jeff:

• "I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not" (CNN documentary)

This week, The Bluest Tape takes a trip through the looking glass — and down the rabbit hole — for a Halloween recap that’s as musically rich as it is delightfully strange. Harvey and Jeff reconnect fresh off a Memphis weekend for Jeff’s son’s bar mitzvah (with a party at Dr. Nick’s House, no less — yes, that Dr. Nick, Elvis’s doctor!) before diving headfirst into the latest Widespread Panic Halloween blowout.

From Elvis lore and raccoon etiquette to Panic’s fully realized Alice in Wonderland–themed Halloween show in Savannah, this episode covers everything from family milestones to jam-band mythmaking. The guys are joined by longtime Panic fan and writer Aaron Stein, who authored the viral fan essay decoding the literary and lyrical threads behind the band’s 2025 Halloween setlist.

Before Aaron joins, Harvey and Jeff share stories from Harvey's Memphis trip — Jeff’s son’s bar mitzvah, the legendary Dr. Nick house party (complete with a racquetball court, Elvis pinball machine, and polite raccoons), and a mix of fall show chatter.

There’s plenty of Halloween talk too — Billy Strings’ marathon sets, Goose’s Hulaween appearance, and the perennial joy of jam bands leaning into the spooky and surreal.

Then comes the deep dive with Aaron Stein, a veteran of the Spreadnet era who returned to the Panic fold and penned a scene-stealing breakdown of the Alice in Wonderland set. Together, they unpack how nearly every song choice — from Gradle to Free Somehow — fit the story arc with uncanny precision.

Highlights from the conversation include:

• How Panic built an immersive Alice in Wonderland world, complete with mushrooms, teapots, costumed rabbits, and trippy transitions
• The brilliance of subtle choices like Impossible, You Should Be Glad, and Free Somehow — each lyrically tied to Alice’s journey
• White Rabbit as the show’s recurring motif, threading through the night before finally exploding in full at the end
• Easter eggs galore — from Who Are You to Greta > Conrad
• The rare and fitting bust-outs (Free Somehow, Crazy, Riders on the Storm) that deepened the theme
• And, of course, that perfect finale: Red Hot Mama > White Rabbit > Red Hot Mama — the Queen of Hearts brought to life, Savannah-style

Throughout, the guys and Aaron trade memories of past Halloween themes (Wizard of Oz, Dreams) and marvel at the band’s growing intentionality — how Panic has turned their Halloween tradition into a full-blown art form.

Welcome back to The Bluest Tape! Fall energy is officially here — crisp nights, cozy vibes, and plenty of Panic talk to warm the soul. This week, Harvey and Jeff kick things off by recapping the latest runs, setlists, and seasonal show anticipation before diving back into our conversation with author and longtime jam-scene journalist Mike Ayers, discussing his book Sharing the Groove.

If you missed part one, go hit Episode 140 first — then come right back, because this second half is loaded. Mike re-joins us at 01:05:24, and we pick up right where we left off: deep in the world of 90s jam bands, scene lore, the post-Dead landscape, and the obsessive joy of tape culture and musical memory.

Harvey and Jeff start the episode catching up on fall shows, livestream moments, and that annual Milwaukee magic. There’s talk of setlist arcs, covers popping up in unexpected spots, and where the band is vibing right now.

We get some fun reflections on recent Panic runs — great weather, great crowds, and that uniquely kind Milwaukee energy that always shows up strong. There’s also some speculation on Halloween in Savannah: costumes? themes? the eternal Red Hot Mama debate? It’s all on the table.

A little life update too — travel plans, kids growing up (shoutout to the bar mitzvah planning energy), and juggling the very real jam-fan calendar vs. parent calendar thing. We feel that one.

Once Mike rolls in, the conversation opens up into:

• Why the early 90s jam moment felt lightning-in-a-bottle
• How mainstream labels never quite knew what to do with bands who built real communities instead of singles
• Scenes inside scenes — from Panic to God Street Wine to Hatters to acoustic hookah??
• The emotional fabric of traveling for music, and why that heartbeat still matters
• Tape culture as a living archive, not just nostalgia
• Why Mexico runs, Milwaukee pilgrimages, and small historic rooms like the Cap still feel sacred

Mike reflects on the jam world’s past and future, drops a few theories (some sentimental, some spicy), and reminds us why this music still pulls us in decades deep. The band-to-fan-to-place connection? Still unbeatable.

By the end, we’re swapping Dave Matthews memories, laughing at our own encyclopedic pre-2000 Panic knowledge, and loving every minute of the trip down memory lane.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back to The Bluest Tape! Harvey and Jeff reconnect in person for a full weekend of sunshine, vinyl, and jams at the 2025 Mempho Music Festival in Memphis. It’s three days of good vibes, great music, and plenty of Widespread Panic talk — naturally.

The guys recap the whole weekend, from playtesting board games and record store digs to festival logistics (plenty of shade, smooth entry, and top-tier po’boys). Then it’s on to the main event: two nights of Widespread Panic at the Radian Amphitheater, where the Friday night opener “Disco > Please > Love Tractor” set the tone and Saturday delivered both highlights and head-scratchers. There’s talk of setlist flow, surprise guests, and the Friday night “JoJo shirt incident”, which earns its own award for “Most Distracting Wardrobe Choice.”

A special moment arrives midway through the episode with The Bluest Tape’s youngest-ever correspondent — Jeff’s six-year-old son, Ellison — sharing his unfiltered review of The Pharcyde’s set (“there was a lot of cursing”) and his favorite moments from the day.

The hosts also cover standout sets from Mavis Staples, Flaming Lips, Lucas Nelson & Promise of the Real, and Tyler Childers, swap favorite t-shirt sightings (Tipitina’s shirts everywhere), and share a great run-in with a longtime Bluest Tape listener during set break. As always, they dive into stats, repeats, and Everyday Companion analysis — all while looking ahead to the next Panic runs.

And stay tuned — Part 2 of our interview with Mike Ayers is coming in the next episode!

"The Bluest Tape #140: Sharing in the Groove with Mike Ayers - Part One"

In episode 140 of The Bluest Tape, hosts Harvey Couch and Jeff Kollath sit down with author Mike Ayers to discuss his new book "Sharing in the Groove," which chronicles the jam band scene from the mid-1980s through 1999. This is part one of a two-part interview.
