Widespread Panic

Widespread Panic was in a vibrant phase of their career when they recorded "Porch Song" live at the Georgia Theatre on December 31, 1992. Just a year prior, they released their self-titled album, "Widespread Panic," which highlighted their Southern rock and jam band roots, setting the stage for their burgeoning popularity. The performance captured in this video showcases their signature improvisational flair, with fiddler David Blackmon adding a delightful layer to the mix. Interestingly, this early '90s period marked a pivotal moment as they were starting to cultivate a devoted fanbase, often playing to sold-out shows in intimate venues like the Georgia Theatre. This recording not only represents the band's energetic live spirit but also hints at the unique bond they were building with audiences—a bond that would only grow stronger over the decades.
