Widespread Panic performs 'Low Spark of High Heeled Boys' at Benedum Center, Pittsburgh
Widespread Panic was in an interesting phase of their career during the April 10, 2007 performance at the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh, where they delivered a lively rendition of "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys." This concert came just a few months before the release of their acclaimed album "Earth to America," which hit the shelves in 2006, showcasing a blend of their signature Southern rock and jam band influences. What's fascinating is that by this time, they had already built a reputation for extensive touring, often with devoted fans eagerly awaiting live recordings. The Benedum performance included a cover of "Traffic," highlighting their knack for honoring influential music while also displaying their own unique spin. Widespread Panic was not just another band; they were more like a familial group, resonating with audiences through their spontaneous jam sessions that felt intimate, even in larger venues. Their dedication to live performances at this stage was a testament to their commitment to forging a deep connection with their fans.
