The Cheese and Bob Weir really smoked during the first set. We got to hear Panama Red, KC Moan, and Dim Lights Thick Smoke! Thanks Cheesedog! You can find a good write up on Jambands http://www.jambands.com/News.phtml?newsfile=redesign_news284.html#7-17-16
The String Cheese Incident is really a pleasure to watch perform. I was recently watching the show on Bob Dylan, No Direction Home, running on PBS http://www.pbs.org/went/americanmasters/dylan/index.html It was funny watching Dylan's personality shine while he and his band stood for music they believed in, which happen to be "electric/folk/rock" or whatever. Dylan used to perform an acoustic set with his classic and progressive songs that worked in such a setting. He then gave the crowd the pleasure of truly jamming, all plugged in and raw during the second set. During such sets people would actually boo and yell with disgust for their hero had deviated from "Folk Tradition". Well now such an act is the norm for bands like the SCI. In fact this set-up truly worked for us on a hot summer day in MA with the SCI, Ratdog, and Cheesedog! It started out cool and smooth and ended in pleasant frenzy of electric jams.
