Here's Some More Video of Athens in the '90s

Another day, another time capsule. The video above comes from reader Chip Shirley, who says:

I shot and edited this as a 'would be' monthly TV show for a local Athens channel that went out of business just as I had it finished. For years I thought the files were corrupted and useless. I just discovered that it was my equipment for playback that was malfunctioning. For all the great Athens artists who let me record them I have this brief offering and great thanks. Hope you enjoy!

The charming but rather awkwardly edited 25-minute clip features footage of Widespread Panic's infamous "Panic in the Streets" concert, as well as music videos from Jucifer and Leguano and live footage of Empire State, the 8-Track Gorilla and an OTC/Melted Men collab. The full breakdown, courtesy of Shirley, is below:
