Widespread Panic

Widespread Panic's live recording of "Airplane" from November 30, 2008, captures the band in a unique moment during their prolific career. Leading up to this performance, they had just released their studio album, "Free Somehow", in 2007. This album marked an interesting pivot for the band, embracing a more polished sound while maintaining their signature blend of rock, blues, and improvisational prowess.
