''Light Fuse, Get Away'' is the first live album released by the Athens, GA based band Widespread Panic. It was first released by Capricorn Records on April 12, 1998. It would later be re-released in 2001 by Zomba Music Group. The album was recorded over various concerts by the band in 1997. ''Pickin' Up The Pieces'' featured Branford Marsalis on saxophone and was recorded on September 7, 1997 in Boston.
On April 18, 1998, the band played a free live show in downtown Athens as part of their CD release party. According to the band, attendance was estimated at around 100,000 people. This in turn broke a previous record by Metallica for "largest record release party". The show was filmed and released later in 1998 on video.
The album reached a peak position of #67 on the Billboard 200 chart. - Wikipedia
