For the first release on its own Widespread Records, Widespread Panic went with its strengths and released a live set recorded during the band's summer 1999 tour. Like fellow Georgians the Black Crowes, this Athens sextet also took the Dirty Dozen Brass Band on the road to add another dimension to its in-concert sound.

The results are stellar and work particularly well on both the groove-heavy "Fishwater," and the loping, Big Easy feel of "Christmas Katie." The most interesting intersection of these two groups comes on the epic, near 12-minute "Beehive Jam," a swirling instrumental opus that includes plenty of Sun Ra-influenced, free jazz nuances. Interspersed among the six originals included here is an interesting array of covers. A well-traveled band, the range of Widespread Panic's regional influences include Detroit (Stevie Wonder's "Superstition"), New Orleans (Dr. John's "I Walk On Gilded Splinters," Earl King's "Big Chief"), and Jamaica (reggae pioneer Winston Riley's "Arleen").
