Widespread Panic

On August 23, 1999, Widespread Panic played a memorable set at the New Morning in Paris, which came just after the release of their album "Live In the Classic City" earlier that spring. This album highlighted their exceptional live performances, packed with improvisation and soulful energy—hallmarks of their style. During this period, the band was gaining traction, especially within the jam band scene, earning fans through their relentless touring and dynamic sets. The live recording showcases not only their signature sound but also the presence of founding member Michael Houser, whose guitar work was critically acclaimed. The performance's vibrant atmosphere truly captures the band's chemistry, with Houser's unique style blending seamlessly into the rich musical tapestry Widespread Panic is known for. It’s a beautiful reminder of a specific era in their journey, where experimentation and community forged unforgettable live experiences.
