On black vinyl, Live From Austin TX documents Widespread Panic's acclaimed Austin City Limits performance—the Georgia-bred jam band proving their arena-filling power translated to the intimate PBS setting. This New West Records archival release preserves the Southern rock foundation, improvisational freedom, and melodic songwriting that built one of touring music's most devoted followings without benefit of radio airplay or MTV support.

Widespread Panic emerged from Athens alongside R.E.M. and the B-52s but chose a different path—road warriors who built their audience show by show, recording live albums that captured what made them essential and studio albums that gave fans new material to explore in concert. This ACL appearance demonstrates their range: songs that work as three-minute radio cuts and extended explorations that showcase the musical communication possible only after decades of playing together. The black vinyl preserves the warmth these performances demand.
