Widespread Panic

In October 2001, during the vibrant period of their career, Widespread Panic was riding the wave of their album "Don't Tell the Band," released earlier that year. This live performance with the legendary Santana at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley showcases two powerful forces blending their sounds. "Don't Tell the Band" was a significant album for the band, featuring songs that not only captured their signature jam band style but also included elements of southern rock and blues, drawing listeners deeper into their eclectic sound. Interestingly, this particular concert was part of a greater trend of Widespread Panic collaborating with influential artists—showcasing their open, communal approach to music. Being in front of a lively crowd under those iconic trees of the Greek Theatre, the vibe must’ve been electric, don't you think? Moments like these highlight how live recordings can encapsulate the essence of a band’s energy, creativity, and their connections to other musical legends.
