Widespread Panic returns to the town in which the band was formed – Athens, GA – tomorrow and Friday to kick off a celebration of the group’s 25th Anniversary at the Classic Center. As we reported last month, WSP will webcast each show. In addition, the performances will be filmed in HD.

You can pre-order downloadable video or DVDs of these shows through LiveWidespreadPanic.com. Digital Downloads will be available on February 17th, while DVDs will ship by February 18th.
