this show was a non-stop dance party from beginning to end. it was my 15th incident and i knew i was in for something special. good to see a good keller williams incident song in the beginning. fuel for the road was just the beginning of an stellar show! swampy waters was full of energy and got everybody shakin. the groove kept pumping with votj. search was great to hear, and everybody kept hopping. the highlight and this song is worth the money of the show ALONE is Rivertrance. This is by far the BEST version of Rivertrance I have heard. Its a mind-bogglingly groovin version! Get this show! Definately the better of the two nights!

Alright, this show wasn`t bad at all. It wasn`t amazing but the rivertrance alone was worth it. This show was the first time i actually enjoyed give me the love. Joyful sound and Desert dawn were a few other high points too. Franklin`s tower was a really fun encore! the show was good and the band played tight, i had a really good time. this show is worth buying but there are many other shows on this tour that should be a higher priority.

that being said... I am slightly bothered by some reviews. Just because a person hasn`t seen much cheese doesn`t mean their review isn`t valid. Do you remember your first show? it blows you away completely. So instead of alienating new fans, embrace them. On night 2 of this run i was next to this kid who told me it was his first cheese show, i could tell he was having the best time of his life. Also, after a bad stop on a tour (just 2 shows!) there is really no reason to say the band should never return. sometimes a band has off days, don`t condemn a city or venue because the band didn`t have their best show there.

In closing I just want to say thanks to SCI and all the other bands for this show and all the others on the tour because these shows have been insane!

Obviously we have a lot of new Cheese fans writing about these two shows. Im sorry folks, but this was probably the worst show, location, on the classic run. Schaumburg sucked, milwaukee, sauget, and Indy blew that two day run away! I hope Cheese never goes back to Shwagburg, and Umphrey`s I like chicago like the next guy, but that place sucked. A two day run at Sauget (St, Louis) or Indy would be sweet!

I really like this show. give me the love into rivertrance was great. and then joyful sound into la woman into desert dawn was awesome. But this show was all about the encore with pretty much everyone on stage, the go into franklin`s tower. It was crazy down by the stage. A moment I will never forget.

This show was amazing!!! Cheese was on fire, Rivertrance and Joyful Sound were dank as hell, like the rest of the show, but the Cheese dominates all.

This was one of the greatest Festival concerts in IL ever!! Cheese rocked the s*&# out of me. That was a great performance from both cheese and the rest of the crew during the encore. When Franti hoped off stage i was there. I got to dance with him!!! That made the show even better but besides that Keller played seamlessly with cheese. great show. Buy it.
