By the time I stopped seeing them when they came through Athens (which they did so much you would have thought they were a local band) they were charging $6.
I have fond memories of over at a dealer's place who lived adjacent to Widepread Panic's practice space & we would make fun of them & listen to something like Sonic Youth, Ween, Stereolab or Mudhoney & blast it loud enough that we couldn't hear those creepy fucks.

Heh. If Trey (phish's guitarist) would have been there, he would have loved it.
Ween, Stereolab, Mudhoney and Sonic Youth are among his favorite bands.
I said the last 20 years, and the Talking Heads were no longer playing live together in 1986.
Trey A. was also fond of saying in the 90's that Steve Malkmus was his favorite guitarist.
And David Byrne gave Trey props on their rendition of the Talking Heads (apparantly he was at the 1996 show) and said that they did a better job on it than the Heads ever could have (including playing the three songs from the album the Talking Heads never attempted to play live), and saying that he was in awe the entire time.
Widespread Panic sucks monkey balls.
