Hey everybody...We
hope you're all enjoying your summer so far. With the absolute overload
of music going on, we are seriously short on reviews this month...oh
well, it's not much of a surprise, since we all seem to be in a cycle
of seeing music, recovering, and seeing music again...there's no time
to write any reviews! You can't complain about that, so it's all good.
We thought we'd try something a little different this month and
present a more exhaustive Notable Dates section. This way you can
rely on our Midwest column to serve as an actual music calendar
for each state we cover.
As far as news goes, we'll go out on a limb and say that the buzz
around the Midwest has been about the Phish and Further tours...as
of this writing, Phish has descended upon the Midwest and Further's
stop in Columbus is still unconfirmed. Hopefully next month we'll
have some reviews of the Phish shows and whatnot.
As is usually case, if you've recently seen a show you'd like
to review or have some tour dates from a local act that hasn't made
our radar yet, please send them our way: midwest@jambands.com. We'll
see you at the show... Todd & Tim
In Case You Missed It
String Cheese Incident
6/21-22/00, Navy Pier, Chicago
by David and Danielle
Crooks
Another incident, another fulfilling experience. I caught the
two shows at the beautiful, small Navy Pier outdoor theatre this
week. The 3rd and 4th incidents for me personally. I can't say enough
about the groove these guys get into during the show. I find myself
not even paying attention to the individual songs, one just naturally
flows into the other like it was always meant to be that way. My
thoughts get a million miles away in the most uplifting way during
these shows, it's fantastic. The band seemed excited to be back
in the US and on tour, and the crowd responded with overwhelming
enthusiasm. The first night was the Summer Solstice, and almost
on cue near the end of the second set, fireworks exploded over the
lake and lit up the sky. The band seemed to like it as well. The
second night, over 18 crowd, was particularly cool. The band broke
out several new songs that were fantastic! Instant classics, glad
to have been part of the maiden voyage. The crowd really got into
it and the band was ON! I normally don't like to compare bands,
and I haven't seen Phish since NYE, but SCI seems to be the most
consistent, positive, spiritual jam band. WSP can be earth-shattering
on a good night, but I am definitely 4 for 4 on killer shows from
SCI. The funkadelic folkswingingjazz spacingsonictornado kneeslappinghippiehop
dance is the best here. On my way to two days at Devils Head, where
SCI will be back in their element in a campground. The band was
looking forward to a summer filled with camping almost every weekend.
I suggest you do the same.
