Widespread Panic

On October 30, 2009, Widespread Panic was in a dynamic phase of their career, marked by a strong live performance ethos. Prior to this live recording, the band released their studio album "Free Somehow" in 2008, which showcased their continued evolution incorporating diverse musical influences and experimentation. The Halloween run at the Austin Music Hall was part of a tradition for the band, known for their high-energy performances and thematic shows. The choice to cover "Lawyers, Guns, and Money," a classic from Warren Zevon, reflects Widespread Panic's affinity for intertwining rock and storytelling in their sets. The band has cultivated a dedicated fanbase, partially due to their improvisational style during live performances, making each show a unique experience, a hallmark evident in this 2009 concert. This period also saw them maintaining a rigorous touring schedule, further cementing their reputation as a staple in the jam band scene.
