I really don't like Panic that much. I men I have seen them but they just have too heavy a sound for my liking somehow. I do like Warren in the right setting (not singing Dead music, mostly).
Grace is a great act live. Although I am not too fond of the songs she has sung from her latest album and not too happy about the Nocturnals no longer being together. Haven't seen her live since then, though.
Trombone Shorty puts on a great live show.
I hear you on the Nocturnals. Grace Potter without the Nocturnals is like Ryan Adams without the Cardinals, it just ain't the same. Oddly enough, my favorite Haynes show was when I saw him with the Garcia Orchestra at the Fox in St. Louis, i.e. singing nothing but Dead music.
