Only once was I drunk 2000 in Jackson. The rest sober.

That was the one middle of downtown right? Crazy you couldn’t do that show today. The walk back was wild we lost our ride, no phones or maps. Fun times.

Was a huge fan and saw them often in Houser days but have barely seen them
In last 20 years. Saw them Friday at lakefront and they sounded great - most reminiscent of original sound that I have heard since Houser passed - had an awesome time

Nick Johnson doing a good job of carrying the old Mikey sound while rocking Jimmy's rig. Bon Temps in Nola over the weekend.

Actually, Nick is playing a hybrid rig of Mikey and Jimmy:

Guitar: PRS DGT (same guitar as Jimmy. The pickups in this guitar are what gives it a unique sound like Jimmy.)
Amp: Soldano style amp head (like Mikey's)
Speaker cab: Mesa Boogie (Mikey's original cab)
Wet side of the rig (reverb): Jimmy's wet rig
Digital delay pedal: Boss DD3 (same as mikey)
Volume pedal: same as Mikey and Jimmy.

The tone really comes from the PRS DGT pickups and the Soldano amp head.

I've seen Panic a ton back in the Mikey days, but I was always a bigger fan of Phish, which has always been a sort of dividing line in my "jamband" friend/touring group. I've always like Panic's songwriting better than Phish, but their live sound just doesn't have as much variety and hasn't ever been as intersting to me. That being said, I was in Angelfire for a mountain bike trip during Mempho and was traveling with some dudes who are big into Panic. So we watched the Mempho shows at night. I was pretty impressed with Nick's guitar playing. I agree that he has a lot of Mikey's sound... but it seems like he has way more variety in his guitar tone than what Mikey always did. Anyway, those Mempho shows were some of the most enjoyable Panic shows I've watched or heard.
