Review by Thom Jurek
The members of Widespread Panic seem to have contented
themselves with the notion of the band's audience being
exactly what it is. Given the records they've issued in
the last couple of years, they no longer seem ambitious
about growing to reach anyone else. (For one thing,
when was the last time the band did a studio
recording?) This is too bad, because the world of
popular music is almost always one of diminishing
returns: if a band has no ambition, many of its own
fans will eventually grow tired and look elsewhere for
excitement. Live at Myrtle Beach is a rote set by a
band that is increasingly becoming rote in its method
and expression. If you are a "spreadhead," there may be
something here for you in these live versions of songs
that have been trotted out before along with a couple
of interesting covers -- most notably "Dirty Business,"
originally done by the New Riders of the Purple Sage.
The other cover is Robert Johnson's "Stop Breakin' Down
Blues," which is workmanlike and doesn't get to the
heights it could on a more inspired set. Ultimately,
this is exactly what you'd expect, two discs of
Widespread Panic live, doing just what they do without
really reaching for more.
