The String Cheese Incident's three-night run at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago to break in the New Year has come to a close. The first two performances treated fans to high-energy performances of classics, debuts, extended jams and covers and the closing performance on Jan. 1 was no exception.
The String Cheese Incident opened the show with a cover of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" then played "Miss Brown's Teahouse," and "Manga." Next, they moved into a jam of "What It Is" > "Bolly's Comin' Jam" > "BollyMunster." To close the first set they debut their song "Trip The Light Fantastic" which featured keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth on vocals.
The second set was jam-heavy; String Cheese opened with the beloved song "Sirens" which flowed into "Big Sciota" > "One Step Closer" > "Illegal" which morphed into "Jam" which included a tease of "Stories For Another Day." By the time "Jam" found its way to "Round the Wheel" fans were already satisfied but the set went on. String Cheese played "Best Feeling" > "Colliding" to bring the set to a close.
The String Cheese Incident returned to the stage comfortably in the New Year for their encore of "Outside & Inside."
