Didn't know "Excellent Condition" rating meant skips
Too bad both discs (despite rated "excellent condition") had multiple skips on them. Awesome live disc by great band. Tried them on multiple CD / DVD players with same result. Returned item for refund - very discouraging.

I've been listening to this daily for the last 3 weeks and think it's incredible. New Widespread Panic fan here. I listened to 1 WP cd probably 10 years ago and didn't really care for their sound at the time but gave them another try last year and very glad I did. This is my favorite release so far. Favorites (tough thing to do) : Gimme, Pigeons, Love Tractor. Of course Porch Song, Space Wrangler are great but I was already hooked on those before I got this CD. I think this is great sampling of their sound and highly recommend it.


Wonderful Can't get enough
I had been lightly exposed to panic during my high school days, but when I attened college I made a good friend who was a huge fan of panic. I purchased this CD about 6 months ago and in that time i have probably listened to it over 150 times. he introduced me to them in detail and since them I have fallen in love with them and especially the late great guitarist Michael Houser. HOuser had a very unique style that had a ligerning effect due to the delay which he always used in his rig. I have read reviews here that say that john herman's keybaords are sub-par in my opinion this is far from the truth. Herman I beleive has a wonderful style using organs and keyboards much in the way of former GRateful Dead keyboardist Brent Mydland. The highlights of these disks in my opinion are Space Wrangler, Impossible and Greta. The jam at the end of Space Wrangler is the best example of Houser's ability to blow your mind with his unique style and just make you want to boogie. the intro to impossible is head shaking hard rocking music that just sets up for another great tune. In my opnion if you are interested in this cd buy it before another panic cd to have some feel for the majesty of thier live shows.


Who's this "Phish" I hear so much about....
While the Dead exist in a league of their own, I own Phish Live Albums and this Panic album, and I quite easily pick the latter over the former. When I hear the word jam band, the two groups which first come to mind are Phish and the Grateful Dead. This Panic cd simply has the soul and energy that I find Phish lacks, and the music is accessible while being unique and engrossing. Wanna dive into the jam band scene? Start with this Panic cd. You won't be dissappointed. .


Local Normalcy
These Georgia boys do it again, but not really again because its the same as everything else, but again in a way worth spending 25 bucks. Widespread does it again!! They release another live album that is so crunchy, you forget it is the same as the many other live cd's they have that play the same songs, just like Dave!!! Even though I have every 'spread concert, excuse me, show they've played in the past four years in my twiggy new I-pod, I would totally pay 25 bucks to get the same songs, but on another cd. Keep on Truckin' 'spread, like Trey or the Dead, don't worry about being too monotonous, you're too crunchy for that.
