The String Cheese Incident :: 4.6.17 ::
Palace Theatre :: St. Paul, MN

On Thursday night, Colorado’s The String Cheese Incident continued Spring Tour with their second of two tour-opening performances at the Palace Theatre in St. Paul, Minnesota. SCI opened with just the second “Black And White” since August and then performed fan-favorite Weather Report cover “Birdland.” The year’s first “Yo Se” led into one of the group’s newest songs, “My One & Only,” off the soon-to-be-released studio album Believe. Cheese ended Thursday’s first set with a “Best Feeling” > “Exodus” (Bob Marley) > “Best Feeling” sequence and “BollyMunster.”

Last night’s second set began with recently-added repertoire staples “Stop Drop Roll” and “Hi Ho No Show” as well as a cover of “Purple Strains” by Onus B. Johnson that was first played by the band last month. “Song In My Head” was followed by a trio of classics: “It Is What It Is,” “Sirens” and “Restless Wind.” SCI ended the evening with a cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Boogie On Reggae Woman” in the encore slot. The String Cheese Incident gave fans a free audio webcast of the tour-opening run in St. Paul via Mixlr. Cheese provided similar audio streams for most early 2017 shows and it appears the trend will continue this tour.
