Widespread Panic

Widespread Panic was riding a wave of momentum as they entered the new millennium, with their live show at Philips Arena in Atlanta on December 31, 2000, marking a memorable moment in their career. Just before this performance, in 1999, they released "Don't Tell the Band," an album that showcased their growth and deepened their musical vocabulary. This recording, rich with the band’s signature blend of rock, jazz, and Southern roots, encapsulates not just their talent but also the palpable energy of their live sets—a hallmark for the band. Interestingly, Widespread Panic is known for their spontaneous setlists and inventive jamming, which really shines through in this live performance, reflecting their robust connection with fans. Their ability to create a unique night each time they took the stage endeared them to a dedicated following, and this New Year's Eve show was no exception—a perfect way to usher in 2001.
