Last night, The String Cheese Incident continued their ongoing 7-show run in their home state of Colorado with their first of two performances at the newly renovated Dillon Amphitheater. In addition to a number of fan-favorite originals and Jason Hann‘s new ode to Cameroonian musician Andre Manga (debuted earlier this summer at Electric Forest), SCI laced the first set of their Dillon opener with a number of classic covers including Stevie Wonder‘s “Boogie on Reggae Woman”, a jam based on Bill Monroe‘s “Jerusalem Ridge”, and country blues standard “Sitting on Top of the World”.

After a mostly seamless second set ended in a rare “Land’s End” > “San Jose”, the band returned for their encore, starting “I Know You Rider”, the traditional blues number popularized by The Grateful Dead. After working through the song’s structure, the band made a surprise left turn into Bob Marley‘s “Stir It Up” before finding their way back into “I Know You Rider” for a big finish, much like they did to close set one on July 21st, 2007 at Berkeley, CA’s Greek Theatre and during the encore at Stubb’s in Austin on April 15th, 2017.

The String Cheese Incident’s Colorado run continues tonight, Wednesday, July 18th, with their second of two nights at Dillon Amphitheater, followed by their three-night engagement at Red Rocks Amphitheatre this coming weekend, from Friday, July 20th, through Sunday, July 22nd.
