Widespread Panic

In October 2001, when Widespread Panic graced the stage at the UNO Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, the band was riding high on the wave of their album *Live in the Classic City*, which was released earlier that same year. This live album, capturing the essence of their electrifying performances, showcased their signature blend of Southern rock, jazz, and sensibilities from the jam band scene. By this time, Panic was already well-established, known for their vibrant live shows, often stretching songs into immersive, spontaneous experiences. A fun tidbit? Their concerts have a cult-like following, with fans spontaneously traveling across the country, making each show feel like a reunion. The New Orleans show—especially the performance of "Stop-Go"—was a testament to their energetic live presence, emphasizing the band's intricate musical dialogue and improvisation that fans had come to adore and anticipate.
