The String Cheese Incident Cuts North Carolina Concert Short Due To Weather, Livestreams Backstage Set

The String Cheese Incident kicked off a two-night run in Wilmington, North Carolina on Tuesday which was cut short due to weather. SCI headed backstage at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater where they delivered a livestream acoustic set full of rarities.

Cheese got the first on stage set underway with standalone versions of “Indian Creek,” newer tune “World Gone Crazy” and “Can’t Wait Another Day.” SCI then paired up “Windy Mountain” with “Get Tight.” Next, the sextet delivered a three-song seamless section beginning with “Believe” and “Big Sandy River.” Guitarist Bill Nershi then led the group through a fitting “Black Clouds” to close the set.

SCI decamped to the green room at Greenfield where they set up a livestream to capture a stripped-down set that began with the Peter Rowan rarity “Trail Of Tears.” As per Phantasy tour, the song was last played in 2004. Keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth’s “Missin’ Me” then led into Bill Monroe’s “Wheel Hoss.”

Two more rarities followed in the form of Gram Parson’s “Ooh Las Vegas” and the Bob Marley classic “Redemption Song.” The latter, according to PT, has only been played once before from Australia in 2004. Yet another second performance followed with J.J Cales “After Midnight.” Cheese closed out the set with a coupling of “Valley Of The Jig” and “Boo Boo’s Pik-A-Nik.”
