This show was recorded live on January 29, 1996, and was the third of three nights at Garton's in Vail, Colorado. It also marked the midpoint of Widespread Panic's legendary Sit n' Ski Tour, a 20-date trek across the Rockies where both fans and band skied during the day and jammed at night.
Vail 1996 is a rowdy and playful show, giving the listener a glimpse into the intimate, laid-back, and (mostly) acoustic vibe of the tour. The show was mixed and mastered by John Keane from the original multi-track tapes.
