Widespread Panic

Before releasing the 1995 live recording from the Tennessee Amphitheater, Widespread Panic had put out their studio album "Live in the Classic City" in 2001. At this point in their career, they were already gaining a solid following and honing their reputation for energetic live shows. The Knoxville performance, captured on September 28, 1995, is a gem that showcases their improvisational prowess and deep-rooted Southern rock influences. Interestingly, this particular recording falls into the timeline of Widespread Panic’s extensive touring history, during which they grew a dedicated fanbase eager for the unique experience they offered at every venue. The live album's release in July 2018, long after its original performance, reflects the band's commitment to revisiting and sharing their rich past with new and old fans alike. It's a nostalgic trip back to an era when their live energy truly thrived.
