More Panic

 

Widespread Panic begins its fall tour in mid-September at the West Virginia University Coliseum in Morgantown Sept. 17. Widespread Panic’s Dirty Side Down Summer Tour included a record-breaking, three-night sell out at Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre (in 7 minutes), three sold out nights at the Chicago Theater, festival headlining dates, a performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, taped an appearance on National Public Radio’s World Cafe (airing August 20) and a blistering show at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.

Widespread Panic will release the two-disc/three-vinyl set Live In The Classic City II on September 28th. 2010 marks the ten-year anniversary of this monumental three-night run that took place on April 1-3, 2000 at the Classic Center Theater in Athens, Georgia.

These recordings are also significant because they mark the first time Widespread Panic asked their fans, who are regularly permitted to record and circulate live performances, to refrain from recording these particular shows. Live In The Classic City II will mark the first time that these performances have been made available, and even heard if you weren’t there.

Live In The Classic City II includes special guests Mike Mills (R.E.M.), percussionist Arvin Scott, producer John Keane, guitarist Eric Carter and vocalist Daniel Hutchens (Blood Kin) and vocalist Anne Richmond Boston (Swimming Pool Q’s).
