Widespread Panic

Widespread Panic was riding a wave of creative energy in the early '90s, just before the release of their self-titled album "Widespread Panic," which hit the shelves in 1991. This era was crucial for the band; they were honing their signature sound that blended rock, blues, and funk. It’s interesting to note that during 1990, they'd already built a loyal following thanks to their electrifying live shows, like the one captured in the November 30, 1990 performance at the Georgia Theatre. In this recording, we see a young band bursting with energy, most notably with Michael Houser's exceptional guitar work and Dave Schools’ catchy bass lines. The vibes? Pure magic. The fact that they were just starting to gain traction nationally illustrates their eclectic, improvisational style that would eventually draw crowds and keep fans coming back for more. So, if you catch this performance, you're witnessing the raw beginnings of what would become a beloved jam band legacy!
