Widespread Panic

Back in 1994, Widespread Panic was riding a wave of momentum and creativity that was reflected in their energetic performances, like the one showcased on *Late Night with Conan O'Brien*. Prior to this live appearance, they released their self-titled album *Widespread Panic* in 1993, which really helped the band gain traction in the jam band scene. But this time on Conan, where they performed “Can’t Get High,” was pivotal. It marked their increasing visibility and solidified their reputation for infectious live sets. Isn't it fascinating how a single performance can elevate an artist’s profile overnight? Fun fact: this was a period of rapid growth for Panic, as they were gradually becoming a staple in the live music circuit, renowned for their improvisational style and loyal fan base. Their unique blend of rock, blues, and Southern charm was right on the cusp of exploding into mainstream consciousness, setting the stage for future successes.
