SCI – 2 Nights in Georgia!

Monday, November 28th, 2011

The tour continued on Saturday night in Atlanta, Georgia. Here’s the setlist:

11/26/2011 Fox Theatre – Atlanta, GA
Set 1: Restless Wind, 100 Year Flood > Boogie On Reggae Woman, Barstool, Colliding, Miss Brown’s Teahouse > Shine
Set 2: Southbound, Desert Dawn, Sirens > Bumpin’ Reel, Way That It Goes, Jellyfish, It Is What It Is…
Encore: Rollin’ In My Sweet Baby’s Arms, Way Back Home

I have not had a chance to listen to this show yet, but the first set looks amazing.  100 year flood has only been played one other time since 2007, at Winter Carnival 2011 and it’s one of my favorites!  Colliding is a new Kyle song, first time played.  Second set features Sirens > Bumpin Reel… a fitting combo with similar electronic influences.  I’m sure It is What It Is was a killer set 2 closer as it always is.  Then some bluegrass and an epic Way Back Home for the encore. Good stuff!

Then on Sunday, the band played a show at the newly re-built Georgia Theatre.  Here’s the setlist:

11/27/2011 Georgia Theatre – Athens, GA
Set 1: Song In My Head, Missin’ Me > Dudley’s Kitchen, Hotel Window, Under African Skies > Joyful Sound > Howard
Set 2: Sand Dollar > Can’t Stop Now, Water, Cottonmouth, BollyMunster, Close Your Eyes > ‘Round The Wheel
Encore: I Know You Rider
Download this show here!

I haven’t heard this show yet either but the setlist is smokin!  Solid first set with the infectious Song In My Head to start it off and then I what I imagine was a huge Under African Skies > Joyful Sound > Howard to close the set.  Set 2 opened with Sand Dollar, another song which has only been played once since 2007. Then a new one “BollyMunster” and a 17 minute Round the Wheel to close the show.  SCI is playing in Nashville, TN tonight and the first set is acoustic!  I can’t wait to get to NYC this weekend for some live cheese!

Check back tomorrow for more updates!

SCI Winter Carnival – Thursday Review

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Ashley Sawtelle Winter Carnival

Winter Carnival 2011, Night 1: A Fan’s Recollection.

We arrive to 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, CO. First stop, the “lot”. I had a couple extra tickets to sell as well and only in a Cheese lot will hopeful attendees try to buy your extra for $40 less than face.  All the freaky people begin to gather – reuniting, laughing, and sharing stories from their last Incident just waiting to get their first taste of 2011 Cheese. I hear it’s the newly aged kind.

We walk into 1st Bank just in time to catch the last bit of Ott. Tribal beats flow through the air and bodies are already grooving. Ott, turntable master based out of London, England, was a perfect warm-up for Winter Carnival. I was also hoping to see Ott sit in with Cheese later on in the show, but unfortunately that did not end up happening.

And then it’s time. The 6 members of the String Cheese Incident Read more…

SCI Winter Carnival – Friday, Saturday Review

Bill Nershi Winter Carnival SCI
BROOMFEILD, CO -  On March 10, 11, and 12th, 2011 at the 1st Bank Event Center, The String Cheese Incident, a jam-band based out of Boulder, CO, celebrated the winter and spring seasons by throwing a set of concerts known as The Winter Carnival.

The String Cheese Incident has performed Winter Carnivals in the past; however, this was the band’s first since March 2007.  As a band that hasn’t “officially” been together since the summer of ’07, it was their first performance in Colorado since October of 2010 at the same venue for the Fourmile Canyon Revival show to raise money for the fire in Boulder Canyon.  Because they play a few select concerts together a year, it makes their performances that much more appealing and special.

Anticipation for the Winter Carnival began in the fall of 2010 when rumors of the concert surfaced.  Much like most ‘cheesy’ rumors, this one turned out to be true.  The announcement was made and the tickets began to sell this past January.

The tickets themselves are unique and can be kept as a memory of the shows.  Each of the three days had
