Widespread Panic

In June 2002, Widespread Panic was riding a wave of success thanks to their vibrant blend of rock, blues, and improvisational jamming. Just before this live performance at the inaugural Bonnaroo Music Festival, they released the album "Everyday," which came out in 2001. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, showcasing a tight production and infusing new energy into their live performances. The Bonnaroo set not only featured the crowd-favorite "Tall Boy," seamlessly flowing into "Testify," but it also showcased significant guest appearances, including gospel singer Dottie Peoples and The People's Choice Choir. If you listen closely, you can feel the electric atmosphere of that historic festival! It's wild to think about how that performance helped cement Bonnaroo as a premier music festival in the U.S., with Widespread Panic playing a pivotal role in its early years.
