5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best CDs in the last 30 years....., September 24, 1999

This review is from: Light Fuse Get Away (Audio CD)

In the league of such live albums as the 1971 Allman Brothers Filmore East, 1976's Peter Frampton Comes Alive, 1980 Grateful Dead-Dead Set. A Quenticential CD that will stay in the player. When I listen to this CD it makes me want to quit my "real" job and move to the Rockies to a dude ranch, Widespread is so powerful with their jams that all you want to do is sit back with a cold beer. I don't know about everyone else, but don't put this CD in while your driving, the intro to Porch will get you a speeding ticket, next thing you know you're driving about 90. Anyway, a must buy, must have CD because it never will get old, these guys were born to play. The thing that would top everything is a guest appearance by Greg Allman and Jaimoe from the Allman Brothers, could you imagine a percussion jam by Domingo Ortiz and Jaimoe? Wow!!!

Excellent representation of their live shows. It rocks! A definite must-have for any panic fan. Buy this one before any of the the others (if it's your first purchase), it has great songs from many of their albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Widespread Panic's live sound perfectly captured on disc., May 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Light Fuse Get Away (Audio CD)

Light Fuse Get Away, the band's sixth CD release) is Widespread Panic's first live concert release, and it is without a doubt their best recording to date. Most of the cuts are 6 to 10 minutes long and all of them jam. It's hard to isolate one tune as being outstanding from the rest - it is that even a collection. Widespread Panic has an original sound - you might be able to pick out influences - Lynard Skinnard, Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Little Feat - so it's hard to say what kind of music they play: driving rock n' roll, southern rock? Like the Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers, Widespread Panic plays as an ensemble, melding their individual sounds into a group sound, and are at their best when up on a stage trying things out. When the band cooks the whole place heats up. If you're not familar with Widespread Panic this would be an excellent CD to start with. Then go back and get the rest, beginning with Space Wrangler (the band's first release). Why only a #9 rating instead of a 10? Gotta give them something to strive for.
