Widespread Panic Performance of Protein Drink/Sewing Machine at All Good Festival
In July 2010, when Widespread Panic took the stage at Marvin's Mountaintop for their encore performance of "Protein Drink/Sewing Machine," they were riding high off the release of their album "Dirty Side Down," which came out just a couple of months prior in April. This album marked their first studio release in four years and was eagerly anticipated by fans. It showcased a blend of their signature southern rock and improvisational style, capturing the essence of what makes their live shows such a spectacle. By the time of the All Good Music and Camping Festival, the band had already built a solid reputation for their electrifying live performances, steeped in spontaneity and musical exploration. Interestingly, this particular show felt like a celebration—fitting for a festival atmosphere—and highlighted Widespread Panic's ability to merge intricate musicianship with crowd-pleasing energy, something that clearly resonated with festival-goers that night.
