On Sunday night, String Cheese Incident wrapped up their two-night stand at Eugene, Oregon’s Cuthbert Amphitheater. Following the group’s headlining sets at High Sierra Music Festival on Thursday and Friday, the Colorado-bred jam act continued onto Eugene for Saturday and Sunday performances—marking the final West Coast “Incidents” scheduled for 2018.

Across the weekend, the band invited a number of friends to join them during the celebratory shows. On Saturday night, String Cheese Incident was joined by percussionist Jarrod Kaplan for a take on “Late In The Evening” and an exploratory drums segment. Other highlights included the second set’s “Jellyfish”, which founded a take on “Willin'” before jamming through “Land’s End”, an extended improv section dubbed the “Big Oregon Jam”, “Glory Chords”, and “Colliding”.
