Don't get me wrong I am a big Panic fan, but does anyone else think Mikey made the band? Their music isn't the same w/o him. I think he was the rock of their sound.

Absolutely

Kinda agree. I am not a huge Panic fan post Houser.

I'm too young to have seen Mike but yes he was absolutely the heart of the band that I love so I will always appreciate him for that. While I am obviously disappointed that I never got to see him, I feel fortunate that I didn't become jaded to where I can't enjoy Jimmy. Dude is a freak and I enjoy what he's turned them into. They're not the same as they used to be but I'd prefer that they do what they are doing now rather than try to sound like they did back then. Mikey had a very unique sound and style. He's one of my all time favorites.

Yes. His use of pentatonic scale and the volume pedal was their definitive sound. They've been pretty terrible since his passing.

You could have called me to discuss this. When I first started taking you to panic shows in the 90s, Mikey was on top of his game. After he died, I continued to see the band with Sam Holt and George and Bramblett (your boy). I really enjoyed the band with Holt, TBH.
Now with Jimmy, I can sit through a show, but got dammit, it is not the same. Houser's style and his ability to lead the band into crazy, spacey jams is what is missing these days.
We need to hit a show. We'd still have fun. Instead of buying balloons in the lot, we'd be buying panic onesies for the kids.

Widespread Panic died with Mikey.

I like the songs that he wrote but I don't like his playing that much. Herring is a big upgrade in that department. WP songs aren't as good as they were when Mikey was around.
