Widespread Panic - Blackout Blues Live Performance from Camden
On August 21, 2009, Widespread Panic showcased their signature blend of rock, Southern jam, and soul at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, New Jersey, performing "Blackout Blues" as part of their enchanting live set. This concert came shortly after the band released their studio album *Free Somehow* in 2008, which marked a departure from their earlier sound with a more introspective approach and polished production. Interestingly, *Free Somehow* was the last studio album to feature longtime guitarist George McConnell before he left the band. The show captured the band's improvisational spirit and their ability to deeply engage the audience, which is a staple of their performances. This particular live recording encapsulated the vibe of that era—a time when Widespread Panic was not just riding the wave of their devoted fanbase but also expanding their artistic horizons.
