Widespread Panic and The Allman Brothers Band have been synonymous with Walnut Creek amphitheatre since the venue’s inception in 1991. Widespread Panic (WSP) have one of the longest existing relationships with the venue, having performed one of the very first shows there in 1991, and the Allman Brothers Band (ABB) have performed at the venue every year since it opened – an incredible streak that will never be rivaled.

While Panic’s highly anticipated shows at the venue have traditionally taken place in the Spring and Summer, a down year for concerts prompted the powers that be to team WSP with another southern musical powerhouse for a season-ending Sunday double bill that was as historic as they come.
There was plenty of room throughout the venue for the duration of the show, and it’s a testament to our times that both bands would draw even lighter numbers at the massive shed for a show by themselves. Still, longtime followers of the bands know that Sunday shows are frequently above average, and WSP excited their fans with 100 minutes of stellar playing that rarely relented. Strong song selection is the key to a standout WSP show, and this set had that in spades, with a spirited Pigeons opener foreshadowing an engaging setlist.
