Live in the Classic City is the third live album released by the Athens, GA based band Widespread Panic. The album was recorded over an April 2000 three-night run in their hometown of Athens. It was released in June 2002 and features a mix of originals and cover songs, studded with guest performances from other star performers, including Derek Trucks, Bruce Hampton, and former R.E.M. drummer Bill Berry.

The collection revealed the full range of musical styles heard at a Widespread Panic show, from tight hook-laden songs to extended improvisational jams, with seven tracks breaking the ten-minute mark.

The album reached a peak position of #99 on both the Billboard 200 chart and the Top Internet Albums chart.

This album is one of 10 "live jam releases of this century" according to the August issue of Guitar One magazine.
