average

It's not bad but not in the same class as "light fuse", "uber cobra" or the 3 disc "live in the classic city". I went to the well one too many times with wide spread panic this time.


Get the DVD instead


This is an expensive single disc CD. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE AND POINTLESS CD. One side is music and the other side is enhanced so you can play the video on your computer. It is only 52 minutes long.

This CD consists of the short songs from the complete concert that is featured on the DVD of the same name. This CD contains the lesser work from the concert. The only thing of interest on most of the songs, is that there is Randall Bramlett on saxophone.

This show came just after guitartist Mike Howser died. George McConnell has just joined the band, but is so new, he is listed as a guest musician. He sounds out of place on most of the songs on this CD. He fits much better on the songs that were not included on the CD.

Get the DVD instead. It has many great moments. The only real good song included on the CD is Rock.


Good Panic at Great Venue
I love the fact that they are releasing DVD's but its sad not to see Mikey Houser in his spot ripping the Fender. This DVD is bittersweet. George McConnel tries his best to fit in here but gets upstaged by the Guitarist from the North Mississippi All Stars on the Rolling Stones cover of "Stop Breaking Down Blues". This is definately the highlight of the show. You also get some nice sax work by Randall Bramlett who has played with everyone to help fill the void of Mikey. Other highlights include the "Rock" with great slide work by John Bell. "Picken up the Pieces" lets Randall stretch out. JB does Cat Stevens well by covering his easy to relate to "Trouble". The bonus on the DVD are ok but its all about the music. The true bonus is they released this in DTS audio format.


Good buy
You get to hear lots of songs that I really haven't heard on a live Widespread CD before. This new cd is very good. It seems as though there is a little more saxophone present, which I like. Definately a good buy for any Widespread fan.
