Widespread Panic Live Performance of 'B of D' at Metropol, Pittsburgh
When Widespread Panic took the stage at the Metropol in Pittsburgh on April 11, 1995, the band was riding high on the success of their live album *Live in the Classic City,* which had been released just a year prior. At this point in their career, they were building a tremendous following, known for their electrifying live performances that blended Southern rock, blues, and a bit of funk. One interesting tidbit is that *B of D,* the track they performed in this particular show, showcases their improvisational prowess—a hallmark of their live sets. By this time, they had established a reputation for their ability to engage with audiences, often drawing out lengthy, spontaneous jams that created a unique, communal vibe. It's fascinating how a single performance can capture the essence of a band at such a pivotal time, emphasizing their evolution and connection with fans.
