Part 3

Walking into the String Cheese Incident Late Night venue it felt like a rainforest. There was no pre-show music, just jungle sounds and parrots calling, vines and well placed neon lights and monkey’s calling form the tree tops, it was unbelievable. During Welcome to the Jungle and Axel Rose look-a-like came out and sang while acrobatic circus folk danced above the crowd in tune with the music and the lights and mostly naked, twirling in sheets in that heady-heady space above the crowd. It was incredible. Cheese really does throw big time stage presentation shows better every time. They have it down to a whole level of art on its own. The music just sort of accompanies the experience. The dancers came back second set, as well as a bunch of dancers on the sides of the stage projected on two huge screens. They really did create a Jungle and we were all in there. Check out all the sweet jungle themed song covers. It was incredible, again. So sad I don’t have pictures, but they wouldn’t have begun to do the experience justice.

And from there I drove back to Park City, UT to celebrate Halloween. Now that I think about it, I guess that would be Part two and Part one would be Vegas. Boy, a lot happened. Pictures make it so much easier….

The whole weekend felt magical, like it was as magical for you as it was for the band. Then they released this a few days after and it sort of makes sense now looking back at their faces and their passion.
