Classic DVD Review: Widespread Panic | Panic in the Streets

The Georgia jam-rockers throw a swell street party to celebrate their latest live disc.

This came out in 2002 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


In 1998, southern jam-rockers Widespread Panic staged a massive street party in their hometown of Athens, Ga., to launch their Light Fuse, Get Away live album.

That swell 80-minute gig anchors this worthwhile set, which also comes with a half-hour of older video footage — much shot by a some wannabe director named Billy Bob Thornton. The recent death of WP guitarist Michael Houser from cancer makes you wish we’d had this footage years ago — but thankful that you’ve got it now.
