Widespread Panic

Widespread Panic was riding a wave of momentum in their career around the time of the live recording “Stop-n-Go” from June 11, 2002, at the Classic Center in Athens. This performance captured the essence of their improvisational flair and deep connection with fans, especially being part of their third live album, "Live in the Classic City." Released the same day, this album was a testament to their impressive journey, showcasing a blend of Southern rock, blues, and jam band energy that’s made them iconic. It was also an interesting point in their history as they were gaining significant traction within the live music scene, playing well-known festivals and expanding their loyal fanbase. Fun fact: Athens, Georgia, is actually where they formed back in 1986, making it a homecoming of sorts—how poetic is that? This special connection to the city undoubtedly added to the electric atmosphere of the night.
