RECAP

On Wednesday, June 4, Widespread Panic commenced night one of three at the Chicago Theatre. The band’s return to the Windy City produced a series of five bust-outs, beginning with the concert’s very first song/ opener, “From the Cradle.” Its arrival ended a 62-show performance gap, after its last delivery on March 4, 2023, at Las Vegas’ The Theatre at Virgin Hotels. The first move of the night set a trend that cascaded into the night’s latter half.

Last night, June 4, Goose rolled into the Grand Canyon State for the latest performance in their Everything Must Go tour. For their final show in the West, the indie-jam outfit sent off the region in style with their first-ever engagement in Phoenix, offering a hot and heavy two-set staging lined with expansive jams. Among the highlights of the evening was the indie groove quartet’s return to a long-running cover of The Beatles, which marked their first Fab Four cover of 2025.

On September 25, 1980, shortly after Len Dell’Amico woke up in Brooklyn, he was summoned to a meeting in San Francisco. The filmmaker flew across the country and made his way to the Warfield Theatre for a pre-show conversation with Jerry Garcia. The ensuing dialogue sparked a 15-year friendship and a new opportunity for Dell’Amico—directing concert films and music videos for Garcia and his bandmates. Dell’Amico looks back on this era in his heartfelt and humorous book Friend of the Devil: My Wild Ride with Jerry Garcia and Grateful Dead.
