Now on vinyl: A much-lauded, intense spring evening with WidespreadPanic from Huntsville's VonBraunCenter. Bootlegs of the April 3, 1996 show were prized by Spreadheads for years before the band put it out on CD. Now that concert is in a five-LP boxset.
Vertical House owner Andy Vaughn tells AL.com that as of publishing of this story, “I started out with 30 copies and am down to 23 at the moment.” If you’re a devoted Widespread Panic fan or just want a piece of Huntsville concert history, at $70 for five LPs the boxset is a solid deal. “Huntsville 1996″ is Widespread’s third vinyl release from their deep archives of live recordings.
In addition to Houser, Widespread Panic’s lineup for the 1996 Huntsville show featured raspy voiced singer/guitarist John Bell, bassist David Schools, drummer Todd Nance, keyboardist JoJo Hermann and percussionist Domingo “Sunny” Ortiz.In 2014, I asked Ortiz if he still remembered the ‘96 Huntsville gig
In the liner notes for “Huntsville 1996,” Widespread Panic’s official archivist Horace Moore wrote that whether that show, “was someone’s first or 250th show, or even if they didn’t see the band for the first time until a few years later, this show continues to hit the note. For the record, I was not there, but also fell for this show a long time ago. It’s never quit on me and has been the focus of much enjoyment and many conversations over the years.
