After a break from the road, String Cheese Incident returned in fine form to celebrate New Year’s Eve with the folks at 1stBank Center in Broomfield, CO. The band handed out 3D glasses to start the show, bringing a new life to the band’s stunning visual displays. The show was on!
The first set saw the band getting warmed up and ready to rock, with an opener of “Just One Story” and tracks like “BollyMunster” and “Look At Where We Are.” The band kept it loose in set two as well, with songs like “Joyful Sound,” “Jellyfish” and “Black Clouds.”
Finally, the group opened the third set with “Way Back Home,” and counted down to 2016 thereafter. Enjoy video from PhatBeats 420:
and celebrated with a cover of Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long (All Night).” They broke into “I Know You Rider,” the folk song as arranged by the Grateful Dead, and finished out the set with “Sometimes A River,” “Beautiful,” “Texas,” and “Valley Of The Jig.” What a set!
Cheese closed out the show with a cover of “The Ocean” by Led Zeppelin, and brought it all home with a little reprise of “Texas.” The band will do it all again tonight and tomorrow night to conclude an exciting three-night New Year’s run. Check out the setlist below:
