Customer Reviews

What will they think of next?
What will they think of next? This is a live set recorded at the record release party for another live set. And most Panic fans will probably disagree, but this one is even better than "Light Fuse, Get Away" albeit a bit shorter.

Interestingly, both sets have a number of songs in common. "Disco" sounds better here as a stand-alone, rather than part of a medley of sorts on "Light Fuse." Pilgrims absolutely blows away the version on "Light Fuse" although it still falls short of the studio version from Everyday (yes folks, while they are a great live band their studio material is often underrated). "Love Tractor" is good on both sets, so the only song that "Light Fuse" has over "Panic In The Streets" is "Porch Song" which an unbelievable opener on the earlier set.

It is also important to note that this set is an expanded version of the 4-track CD that came with some versions of the original "Panic In The Streets" VHS set. However, the sound quality now blows away the original CD. Also, "Tall Boy" fades out early on the original CD which is a shame because the extended jam available now is terrific.

As far as the Georgia Theatre disc goes, it's a shame that it's so short (6 songs), but there's some great stuff on it, particluarly the extended versions of "Pigeons" and "Walkin'". But the real highlight is the semi-acoustic versions of "Mercy" with John Bell and a woman named Samantha Woods on vocals. They're sparse but beautiful. Best...Renditions...Ever!

Bottom line, this live set is not quite as strong as last year's "Live In The Classic City" set, but it is better than both "Light Fuse, Get Away" and "Another Joyous Occasion". At least those are my thoughts after one listen. Enjoy!

You Can Never Go Wrong With Panic
It's easy to say that Widespread is one of, if not the best, kept secrets in modern rock. 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. 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.

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'!
