Following their 40th Red Rocks Amphitheatre performance on Friday night, The String Cheese Incident returned to the iconic venue on Saturday, July 21st to celebrate a pair of milestones: the 20th anniversary of their collaborative album with Keller Williams, Breathe, and the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing.
To kick off the show, SCI and Keller, collectively known as The Keller Williams Incident, played their 1999 Breathe album in its entirety, with Jamie Janover assisting on hammer dulcimer as he also did on the studio recording. Despite some nasty weather causing a delay, the eight-piece unit dazzled the hometown crowd with an exceptional collaborative set.
Luckily for fans, SCI has shared pro-shot video of “Breathe” from Red Rocks with Keller Williams and Jamie Janover, which you can enjoy below:
