Customer Reviews

Extremely good concert
I must admit that this is the first thing I have ever heard by the String Cheese Incident. I was extremely impressed to blown away at times. I cannot give this 5 stars, because I think it is almost impossible for a single concert to deserve 5 stars. Every show has its ups and downs. The concert albums that deserve 5 stars, such as the Allman Brothers Fillmore East, or Derek and the Dominoes Live, were taken from several shows so that the best performance of each song is used.

Even though I can't quite give this 5 stars, I have to admit that there are not very many low points on this CD. I did read a review about the whole concert series and it was mentioned that this might have been the best one of the tour. The sound quality is very good to excellent.

If you have come to this site, you probably know all about String Cheese Incident, but I am going to tell you my thoughts anyway. This is a group that can play in all styles and what the do is borrow from all the great jam bands. There are times they sound like Phish. Howard sounds just like Phish's Wilson. At other times, they sound a lot like the Allman Brothers, especially like Dicky Betts's piano oriented compositions like Jessica. They even play the traditional song I Know You Rider, which was a staple for the Greatful Dead.

Although this group sounds mostly derivative of other groups, they come out sounding fresh and unique in concert.

String Cheese Incident may have the curse that many other jam bands have, especially Phish and Widespread Panic. While their concerts are great, their studio albums are not. I have listened to one String Cheese Incident studio CD several times, and I still haven't been able to get into it.

Birmingham, AL.
The first set alone is reason enough for you to buy this show. It begins with a huge Miss Brown's and ends with a huge Howard, oh what a first set this was. One of my personal favorite SCI shows and one that I will never forget. The Rivertrance sandwich is not too bad either. A definate must have for any collection. Very spacey show at times, quality music.

Just as I expected
Although this is the only live installment my local "record store" stocked I can't be disappointed. The set list is incredible and SCI sounds GREAT! I could go through the highlights, beginning with a groovy Brown Tea->Can't Stop but I wouldn't know where to stop, all the way to an interesting and very un-Dead bluegrass version of I Know You Rider. Their cover of Paul Simons Under African Skies was surprising, likewise with the Rivertrance sandwhich. Howard is a masterpiece and deserves special mention, one of the best versions I've heard. Although I haven't been able to get my hands on any other live sets, I'm completely pleased with Birmingham 4-19.
