Widespread Panic

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.
