AMG Review of Light Fuse, Get Away

All Music Guide

A live double CD document of Widespread Panic's estimable onstage powers. Picking up on longtime stage favorites and album tracks, all given the lengthy jam-infested treatment a live show affords the group, tracks like "Diner," "Greta" "Barstools & Dreamers" and "Impossible/Jam" all clock in at over ten minutes, with six others stretching over seven minutes. Branford Marsalis makes a stellar guest turn on "Pickin' Up the Pieces," but the real stars here are the group itself, running a decade's worth of material for audiences that can't get enough of it.
