Widespread Panic

In October 2010, Widespread Panic was in an exciting phase of their career, just releasing their album *Dirty Side Down* a few months prior. This eagerly awaited studio effort landed in May 2010 and marked a return to their roots with a mix of fresh sounds that fans had craved. The live recording of "Cream Puff War" from the Fox Theater in Oakland truly captures the essence of their energetic performances during this period. The band’s ability to connect with the audience is palpable, reminding us why they became such a staple in the jam band scene. A fun fact is that Widespread Panic is known for their improvisational flair, which is brilliantly showcased in this performance. Each show feels like a unique journey, and this particular night in Oakland was no exception, blending their classic hit with magical moments on stage that only live recordings can convey. What makes it even more special is the band’s unwavering commitment to showcasing their craft, keeping the spirit of live music alive and well!
