string cheese incident - 11/25,26
wow. just had my face melted over the weekend. for those who care, i put this on another board........
man - what a weekend.
asheville was a good show....pretty much what i expected, i'd give it a very solid B. great black clouds and this section of the show was my favorite by far: Land's End > This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) > Glory Chords > On The Road.
the place was going pretty wild, i think everybody was just happy to be seeing cheese again. kept it pretty tame, no real insane stories to share.
the fox show was flat out retarded. i'm not even kidding when i say it might have been the best concert i've seen in at least 5 years.
from start to finish the first set just smoked, tight jams, the untz factor was present but not overly present. just flat out sick. 100 yr>boogie on was perfect. think there was a pretty nice dancin in the street tease in boogie on. my favorite part of both shows might have been miss browns>shine.
Set 1: Restless Wind, 100 Year Flood > Boogie On Reggae Woman, Barstool, Colliding, Miss Brown's Teahouse > Shine
second set, more of the same....just stupid good from start to finish. they must have been practicing a lot leading up to this tour.
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
southbound was a great bustout, desert dawn was evil....i mean they had this underlying evil theme the whole night. it was a fucking disco party...the lights were great, and the place was just erupting during some of their jams. the energy in that building reminded me of panic new years in 98. just insane. fun to hear jellyfish.
tons of hot chicks in slutty clothes at both asheville and atlanta. i made out with two hot one's that couldn't be older than 20 years old. had a blast, spilled a lot of beer, just got rowdy. didn't leave my couch yesterday. probably won't take a normal shit for a few days.
if they are going to keep playing like this, i really hope they start touring again. i would put that fox show up against every phish 3.0 show i've seen. i really wasn't expecting them to be that good. the last cheese show i saw i was extremely disappointed.
athens looked great, almost wish i would have gone to that one also. dudleys kitchen, howard, cottonmouth and sand dollar are all tunes i really wanted to hear.
