Great sounding Jazz Tribute To The Grateful Dead. The group has been together for some years and has had a few line-up changes but they always kick ass. There are a few shows in circulation, this one was my first taste of the band. You can't miss with members of Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report, & Dixie Dreggs. I don't really know much about Widespread Panic (didn't they have a radio hit in the 1990s?) but keyboardist Jimmy Hearing does an awesome job. Throw in guest appearances by Merl Saunders (the show's opening act as well) and Jeff Mosier, well you get the point. Download this awesome show now.
