Widespread Panic

In April 1996, Widespread Panic was riding a wave of momentum with their album *Don't Tell the Band*, released just a year earlier. This live performance at the Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse in Granville, Ohio, came during a vibrant era for the band, known for their energetic shows and captivating improvisations. The setlist from that night includes fan favorites like “Diner” and "Holden Oversoul," showcasing the group’s signature blend of rock, blues, and jazz influences. What's especially interesting is that this period marked an intensified connection with their audience. Many concert-goers were drawn to the band's joyfully improvised live renditions, which often took on a life of their own, making each performance unique. That sense of spontaneity in their shows really resonates through the recording, making it a cherished part of their expansive live archive.
