Widespread Panic

On April 28, 2002, Widespread Panic performed an electrifying show at the Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Pelham, Alabama, a highlight captured in the video "Genesis." Leading up to this performance, the band had just released their album, *Don't Tell the Band*, in 2000 and was riding the momentum of their earlier success. Interestingly, *Don't Tell the Band* featured a more polished sound compared to their earlier, jam-heavy work, which might have influenced the fervor and energy seen in this live recording. The addition of John Keane on pedal steel during this performance brought a unique flavor to their sound, showcasing the band's commitment to evolving their style while maintaining their roots in improvisation. This performance encapsulates a pivotal moment in their career where they were blending experimentation with their classic Southern-rock vibe, making each live show an unforgettable experience for fans.
