Widespread Panic

Widespread Panic was riding high in their career around the time of the live recording of "Ride Me High," played at the Classic Center Theater in Athens, Georgia, on November 30, 1999. This show was part of their increased popularity in the late '90s, particularly in the jam band scene. Just a couple of years later, in 2002, they released the album *Live in the Classic City*, which showcased performances from that very concert and others around the same era. This live album captured the unique energy of their shows and solidified their reputation as a must-see live act. An interesting tidbit? The Classic Center is something of a home turf for the band, given their roots in Athens, making this performance particularly special. Fans who experienced the live atmosphere can tell you it was electric—a true testament to their improvisational prowess. Isn’t it fascinating how moments captured in time can echo through the years like that?
