5.0 out of 5 stars
Why only 4 out of 5?, October 18, 2001
This review is from: Widespread Panic - Live at Oak Mountain (DVD)
I have no qualms giving it a full 5 out of 5. This show rocks. The sound and picture quality are phenomenal. This is a benchmark DVD for live music. The format of DVD with all the extras is one thing - but to not deal with VHS hiss, that's a whole other world. If you know Panic, you know Mikey just sits and plays. You get lots of great close-up shots of the soloing. If you're a guitarist, you can get a sense of his style from the video. This is exactly why Jerry Garcia did not want videos with close ups of his playing. The setlist for the show is phenomenal - I'm Not Alone, and Papa's Coming Home - will entrance you. Pop it in at 3 AM.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Even if you were there, it's great to see again, July 17, 2002
This review is from: Widespread Panic - Live at Oak Mountain (DVD)
Oak Mountain is one of the best venues to see Panic, and this DVD lets you see footage that you can't really see at the show. Both sets rock, and watching Mike, JB, and Schools' hair blowing in the wind lets you see that they're having a good time. Watching this show on a nice set with surround sounds speakers is a mellow way to watch a rockin' show! Any fan should enjoy it - not just diehard fans, but anyone who enjoys the music, even if they don't like the scene. I recommend it late at night, in the easy chair with my boots on.

2.5 hours of sheer pleasure, January 23, 2003
This review is from: Widespread Panic - Live at Oak Mountain (DVD)
I'm a new WP fan and just got this DVD. Basically, it's incredible. The sound is awesome, the camera work is very good (they actually show the band, not the audience), and the playing is great. If it's possible to wear out a DVD I may just find that out.
