The String Cheese Incident returned to Dillon Amphitheater in Colorado to kick off a five-night run of Rocky Mountain concerts. Though the start of the show was delayed by lightning, dedicated fans waited out the storm and were rewarded with a memorable performance.
With this marking only The String Cheese Incident’s second concert since beginning an ill-timed hiatus on 12/1/19, the band appropriately opened with “Can’t Wait Another Day” as the Colorado-bred genre-benders were eager to return music to our lives. The following “Give Me The Love” bled into “Outside Inside” before a solid run of “Look At Where We Are” and Bob Marley‘s “Could You Be Loved” cultivated a chilled-out mood for set one. The “Dirk” that followed kicked off a nice movement that traveled through a “Love Is Like A Train” jam and ended up in “Rivertrance” to close the set.

Returning for set two, SCI opened up with “Sometimes A River” ahead of an appropriately spaced-out “MLT”. “Banghra Saanj” kept set two moving right along before a bluegrass breakdown of “Midnight Moonlight” and “Purple Strains”. To close out set two, String Cheese Incident paired up “Water” with a wild “Howard” before stepping off for an encore break. Returning to the stage, The String Cheese Incident wrapped up the show with “Nothing But Flowers”.
