The String Cheese Incident

On April 11, 1997, The String Cheese Incident delivered an electrifying performance of "I Know You Rider" at Der Rathskeller in Madison, Wisconsin. Leading up to this live recording, the band had just released their album "Born on the Wrong Planet" in 1997, which showcased their unique blend of bluegrass, rock, and improvisational jamming, further solidifying their standing within the jam band scene. What's fascinating about this period is that the band was gaining a loyal following and evolving their sound while maintaining a grassroots connection with fans. This concert, just a few months after their studio album's release, exemplified their ability to create magical moments in live settings, especially as they performed outdoors amidst a surprising snowstorm. It’s the kind of unpredictable atmosphere that made live performances truly special for both artists and fans.
