Here is the best SCI show I have seen out of about 10… maybe 12.
6/18/2005 Wakarusa Music Festival - Lawrence, KS (Sat.)
Set 1: Percussion> Jam> Texas, Restless Wind, Joyful Sound > Heart of Saturday Night, On Fire> Eye Know Why, Rivertrance, Can’t Stop Now, Desert Dawn
Encore: This Must Be The Place> How Mountain Girls Can Love
They started this show around midnight or 1AM. Just plain energy was flwoing out of the Revival Tent that night. Of course the glow sticks came out right away with Drums (I think I got a hula hoop lodged in my eye as well). But the jam after drums just blew me away right away! Mind you this is after the Waka Gov’t Mule set which was my favorite set by theirs… So I really was not expecting much, especially after the night before SCI played one of the worst shows I have seen them play. But this jam just flows, I thought the tent was pulsating up and down with all the sticks and beach balls and flying monkeys and witchs…
And the double Talking Heads > Mountain Girls encore sent me soaring into the Kansas night on my way to Particle… which is a whole different story…
