SHARING THE SHOWS
So the bands we love are hooking us up with these streams of shows. So for each one I go to, I’ll blog. On the first day of the vernal equinox, String Cheese Incident streamed their December 28, 2018 show from the First Bank Center in Broomfield, Colorado (I saw Phish that night; check out that blog). As a tribute, I got some string cheese on my trip to Costco to stock up on food (it’s the apocalypse, people!). There was plenty of string cheese, so I inferred there was no widespread panic that potentially cause a string cheese incident. Eh? Bill Nershi, the guitarist, gave us an introduction with his good vibes. He described the second set of that show as the “palindrome set”. The group opened up with “Can’t Wait Another Day,” off my favorite SCI album, Colorado Bluebird Sky. Special guests Sam Bush & Daryl Acker came on after that song to play a bunch of bluegrass tunes. Some covers came as well, the Steve Miller Band’s “Take the Money and Run” and Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours.” I felt the urge to dance around the room with Chester’s cat toy, and eventually, he wanted to play. The nice thing about live streaming is you can pause and go back whenever you want. So after “Colorado Blue Sky,” the first set closer, I watched an episode of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” (thanks for the recommendation, Nicole!). I was tired, but I decided to tough it out through the second set. At one point, I went on shirtless and put on sunglasses, imitating Mark at the SCI show we saw in Portsmouth (that was the one where my car got towed from Mark’s parking lot). I spun around, but eventually, I had to tap out.
All in all, I’m thankful for these streams. As an introvert, I may start doing less actual concerts and more couch tours if/when we get back to normal. Nahhhhhhh!!!
