We feel compelled to write in and say that we found the NYE shows to be amazing. Although we experienced some of the crowd aggression, we`ve been going to shows for 20 years, and these things happen. Moments like these can serve as opportunities to help spread the Cheese`s message of Positivity. That`s one of the great gifts of being a part of an incident, bringing those unenlightened into the fold. The show isn`t just what the band makes it, but what we make of it too.

Ok we have all seen the number of bad reviews but nobody wants to get to the point. The problem with these shows had nothing to do with the crowd or the "sloppy play", rather this show had everything to do with the setlists. The first night was orgazmic with a great setlist, but the second night was a little weak. I had a great time, but if you were in attendance last year then you probably noticed all the same repeats as I. I was accepting of the bam repeat because they did it justice this year and it was really short last year. The repeats I did not appreciate are as follows: Rhum N` Zouc, Dessert Dawn, Rollover, Black Clouds, Joyful Sound, It Is What It Is, Restless Wind. I love seeing all of these songs, but I really hoped that all the songs from last year would be thrown out. The dissapointment came in because we all know Cheese has a gigantic list of songs they could play. I can understand the repeats for the Round the Wheel album cover, but seeing this many repeats from one year to the next was really boring. The show was great overall and a great deal of fun, the covers were sick and the bassnecter jam was nasty. Setlist needed some work otherwise this show was groovy. Call me a hater or whatever, but this is the truth. Happy new year!

I`m glad to see all these positive reviews now. Earlier I was starting to think that I was at a different show entirely. I had so much fun and I did not get a sigle negative vibe the whole night. I will deffinately be back there next year even though the cheese probably won`t be. You just have to look at it this way, somebody threw a huge amazing new years party in my favorite city with my favorite people and String Cheese was playing!

firstly this show was incredible in every way. secondly i`ve read alot of the complaints and would just like to say that people need to be more accepting of newbies. for instance I had like 3 high schoolers right behind me that didn`t dance or groove, just kind of stood there staring off into the craziness so I kept bugging them to "get funky" and low and behold by the end of the second set they were grooving too. Just because someone hasn`t been to over 20 cheese shows and hasn`t grown 3 foot dredlocks does not mean they are squares! Talk to the people you think aren`t as hip and maybe you`ll find out that they actually are pretty cool people.

Whoever gve this show a comment like "they played sloppy", "terrible show" etc etc...should seriously lay off the Doces at their next show. I was not there but i downloaded (contrary to "warnings" not to) and it sounds great to me...ok, Sex Machine was pretty bad but you know they just threw that in there as a tribute at the last minute.

To any of you who said its bad...why dont you have examples of where/why? Its not one of the best incidents ive heard/seen....but its certainly worth a download to have in your Mp3 player.

FTW!

Coolest Party on the Planet and solid music to boot! Almost got my head stomped on at set break trying to get down the stairs, but hey, we all need a little adventure sometime. This did not fuck with the overall vibe. People need to master their highs if that is how they are going to spend their evening. A fine example of Cheese eclecticness. Thank You everyone involved, even the haters, because they make me enjoy this music even more.
