Search - String Cheese Incident :: April 4, 2002 - Austin, TX: On the Road

First Show of the Tour

(2 out of 5 stars)

"This was the first show of the Spring 2002 tour, and the show is good, but mostly unremarkable. The 2nd set is solid, and a good selection of songs, but the band was pressed for time during this show, and anyone who knows String Cheese will tell you that they need time to "expand" and "explore". Instead, at this show you get good versions of everything, but nothing really stands out. The next two nights were *MUCH* better. Additionally, this is the only 2-disc show in the OTR series (to date). I'd recommend 4/27, 4/21, 4/13, 4/6, 4/5, 4/19 before I recommend this one. If you just HAVE to hear guest, Jack Black singing the Rush song "Tom Sawyer" for the encore, then this is the show for you. Otherwise, your money would be spent more wisely on the next two nights, or any of the other shows I listed above."
