Panic in the Streets is a filmed document of Widespread Panic's April 18, 1998 concert/release party for the band's first live album Light Fuse Get Away (which would contain 19 tracks from various performances in 1997). Filmed in the band's hometown of Athens, GA the 1998 concert marked one of the world's biggest CD release parties with an estimated 100,000 "Spreadheads" in attendance. The DVD "Panic in the Streets" includes footage from the downtown concert as well as classic footage from 1991 (filmed at another Athens venue) entitled Live from the Georgia Theatre. The DVD also includes the Billy Bob Thornton-directed video of the song "Aunt Avis" featuring Vic Chesnutt and Laura Dern.

The audio from Panic in the Streets was also released on CD.
