Widespread Panic wrapped up their Las Vegas run with a third and final show in Sin City, as they paid homage to the town hit hard by the tragic events earlier this month.

Walking on stage to the intro to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the band (dressed as various versions of Hunter S. Thompson and other characters) launched into “Home on the Range” for the very first time as well as Link Wray’s Blow contribution “Rumble.”

Later on in the first set, the group dug out an original for the first time in fifteen years when they played “Don’t Tell the Band” for the first time since June 25, 2002, marking a gap of over 1,000 shows between performances.

The second set again revisited the “Home on the Range” theme as Jimmy Herring (also dressed as Hunter S. Thompson) took the lead on the song out of the “Proving Ground” jam and before the first cover of Steppenwolf’s “Magic Carpet Ride” with Carrot Top joining in on percussion.

In the encore, Panic again returned to the theme of the night as JoJo Hermann this time took the lead on “Home on the Range” out of “House of the Rising Sun” (last played June 24, 2014). The debut of Free’s “All Right Now” brought the night to a fitting conclusion before the band departed.
