Widespread Panic

Widespread Panic was right in the thick of their vibrant career when they released "Live in the Classic City" on June 11, 2002. This album, capturing the electric energy of their live shows, was their third live offering and showcased the band's ability to blend genres like rock, blues, and a sprinkle of jazz, reflecting their Southern roots. Just before this release, in 2001, they had put out “Don't Tell the Band,” which saw them exploring a slightly different sound with more studio polish—but nothing quite matches the raw, pulsating spirit of a Widespread Panic live performance. A fun fact? The band is known for its improvisational style, often transforming their songs into extended jam sessions that keep fans coming back for more. Their encore performances are legendary, and "Flat Foot Flewzy," featured in this live recording, perfectly exemplifies their knack for turning every show into a unique, unforgettable experience.
