Customer Reviews Panic in the Streets....PANIC across the WORLD! This was my first panic cd and I think it is GREAT! You can listen to it from beginning to end, over and over again! The music being "live" helps create the atmosphere when you listen and I believe it is impossible to get or be in a bad mood when this GREAT band is playin'!. You Can Never Go Wrong With Panic I was a little weiry about buying this two disc set, because of how breif the second disc was, but I am glad I took the chance. It's easy to say that Widespread is one of, if not the best, kept secrets in modern rock. The first disc shows panic at their finest, A good get-you-movin Disco into Tallboy (a personal favorite) is a great way to start the CD. The Chilly Water sandwhich in the middle of the CD really stands out, and ending the disc with Ain't LIfe Grand was a perfect way to keep me psyched for the next CD. (I also have to mention a smoking Wrangler on Disc 1). It took a couple of times to listen through it, but what disc 2 may lack in length, it makes up with in great song selection and high octain early Panic. A supper powerful pigeons, a great sing along Walkin, and the always explosive Sense to Me, with a gentley brutal Mercy to end it. Wow, I'd buy it again if I had to, I suggest this to anyone who loves Panic or needs to hear some southern roots-rock at it's finest. . . The boys from Georgia do it again. Great Live Set But... I bought this disc since it was a 2 disc set for a single disc price, a bargain eh? Well. . not quite. Disc 1 is an absolute stunner, everything you'd expect from WP. While I can't say the vocalist is anything to rave about, the band makes up for it with long extended jams. Disc 2 is a throwaway in my opinion, Who plays such a short show? I foolishly was expecting a full complete concert on this second bonus disc. Sound quality is fine, clean and loud. The booklet is all photos and credits are sparse. 4 stars for the package docked 1 star for disc 2. Disc 1: 10 tracks/76. 15. DISC 2: 6 tracks/20. 35. .
