Good Live String Cheese, September 4, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: June 28 2002 Oklahoma City Ok: On the Road (Audio CD)
Overall this was a good album, with great guitar and piano solos within and without the 3-disc live set. Exceptionally well done is the "Rivertrance" which was led up to from a cover of Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride," which I heretically declare is done better than the original band itself. This same, heretical attitude I take to the Led Zeppelin cover of "Ramble On," being that the String Cheese Incident can perhaps in its own way match up and even surpass the original wizards. Those are the definite strong points about the album. However, one of the issues I have with this album is that for the most part it sounds a whole lot like every other jam band - in other words, they're not doing much of anything too original in their class. And when a band mass-releases their entire fall tour at once, it becomes clear that uniqueness isn't too high on their list. Nonetheless, they are excellent players, playing at the top of their game
