With temperatures still hovering in the low 90s as the band took the stage just before 7pm, excusing their slight tardiness with the explanation they’d been jamiing with their new bluegrass friends for the past three hours (oh, to have a chance to hear that partnership develop).

If you want to get the best experience out of seeing a jam band, often the best way is to catch them on their home turf or at least in a place where they have a stronghold of fans. String Cheese Incident may be from Colorado, but the best place to see them is Oregon.

The String Cheese Incident rolled into their final night of their annual Red Rocks run with all cylinders firing, and while it was with utmost disappointment the band announced Phil Lesh would no longer be joining them due to a positive COVID test.
