Widespread Panic

On April 20, 1996, during their performance at West Virginia Wesleyan College, Widespread Panic found themselves riding a wave of heightened popularity. They had just released their studio album, "Don’t Tell the Band," in 1995, which showcased their eclectic blend of rock, blues, and Southern jam band flair. This album marked a satisfying follow-up to their previous works, wrapping fans in the warmth of their signature style. Interestingly, this live recording embodies the vibrant energy that the band is known for, capturing the spontaneity and improvisation that makes their shows so special. The venue itself, Rockefeller Center at the college, often provided an intimate atmosphere for audiences to experience the raw emotion in their music. Fans who were there will tell you it was a night imbued with memorable jams and heartfelt connections. Just listening to it transports you back to that lively spring night, don’t you think?
