Editorial Reviews

Widespread Panic is so much more than just a jam-happy rock band. From the time Michael Houser and John Bell (JB) began playing duets around Athens, Georgia, in the early 1980s, their repertoire ranged from early covers of the Grateful Dead and Bob Marley to a host of original songs (including "Space Wrangler," included here) that demonstrate, as The Village Voice wrote, a willingness to dip their collective toe into just about any genre. Recorded October 31, 2000 , this is classic Widespread Panic, including David Schools on bass, John Hermann on keys, Todd Nance on drums, and Domingo Ortiz on percussion.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars for Mikey!, February 19, 2009

By 

Judge Smails (Minneapolis) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Widespread Panic- Live from Austin, TX (DVD)

With the exception of climb to safety (which i personally cant stand), this is an amazing DVD. Great video and sound quality throughout. The band is really on their game and Mikey brings the house down during Space Wrangler. Driving>Surprise Valley>Driving is another gem. Panic will never be the same as it was with Houser but they are sounding pretty good now that Jimmy has settled in. The boys get 5+ stars for this one. Thank you Austin City Limits and Brown Cat for releasing this. Go see this band!
