The String Cheese Incident settled into the Cuthbert Amphitheatre in Eugene, OR last weekend, spending two nights at the storied Northwest venue. Coming off of a great run at Red Rocks, SCI has yet to slow down, hitting two nights in Montana and one in Washington before starting this two night stand. With an opener of “Shine,” String Cheese was off and running.

The first set featured a lot of interesting cover selections, including Allman Brothers’ “Jessica,” Stevie Wonder’s “Boogie On Reggae Woman,” and a jam on Queen’s “Another One Bites The Dust” in the middle of “Colliding.” They also playing James Brown’s “Cold Sweat” in the second set, and welcomed The Wailers’ Danglin Anglin for a version of “Exodus.” Of course, SCI played some of their own tunes as well, including new song “Get Tight,” and classics like “Howard” and “BollyMunster.”

The second show featured more SCI classics, as they opened up with 2014 album title track “Song In My Head” and brought out tunes like “These Waves > Djibouti Bump,” “Stop, Drop, Roll,” “Texas” and more in the first set. The second set was an impressive display of jams, as the band essentially played five songs, “It Is What It Is,” “Smile,” “Impressions,” “Hotel Window” and “Sweet Spot.” The band also worked in a “Drums” segment after “Smile,” and welcomed Jeff Pevar during the remarkable “Impressions.” The two-song encore of “Can’t Wait Another Day” and “Shakin’ The Tree” closed out this top tier performance.
