Widespread Panic

Ah, Widespread Panic, a vibrant thread in the tapestry of the jam band scene! Around the time they performed "Heroes" at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse in Bozeman on November 10, 2000, their career was really heating up. They had just released their album, *Don't Tell the Band*, which hit the shelves in 1999. This album showcased a more polished sound while still retaining that signature jam essence they’re known for. It's fascinating to think that this live performance was part of their extensive touring, which has always been a core aspect of their identity. By 2000, Panic was already a household name in the jam scene, drawing dedicated fans who thrived on their improvisational style and electrifying live shows. Notably, *Heroes* isn't an original, but rather a tribute in their setlist, reflecting their unique ability to reinterpret and revitalize classics for their audiences. Just imagine the energy that night—it's that raw connection between the band and the crowd that keeps the spirit of live music alive!
