Widespread Panic - Carbondale 2000 - 5LP Vinyl Box Set

Widespread Panic's Carbondale 2000 captures the Athens, Georgia jam band at Southern Illinois University Arena on December 1, 2000, and this box set marks the show's first appearance on vinyl. Drawn from a multitrack recording and remastered for the format, the full night is spread across five black LPs, issued through the band's own Widespread Records.

The performance features the classic lineup with late guitarist Michael Houser, who passed away in 2002, which makes it one of the archive releases longtime fans hold closest. The band stretches out all night: a 15-minute reading of Traffic's "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys," a nearly 12-minute "Airplane," and a "Drums" into "Drums and Bass" passage that rolls into Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain." Fan favorites "Chilly Water," "Ain't Life Grand" and "Climb to Safety" bring the show home.

For jam band collectors and anyone who has chased Panic from town to town, this is a set worth giving a full evening. Drop the needle on the first disc and settle in.
