Another solid set from SCI. This is a great performance and a great recording. I would recommend this show. Thanks.

Crisp sound, good jams. Pick it up!

SCI came in last on the schedule in the 9:30 - 11pm spot this Friday evening. It was gray and drizzly all day long, and they were pretty much the main reason I came to this festival. I had a friend who lived 1 town over that knew some back roads to get in, so we didn't have to battle the hours and hours of traffic, so I picked him up at about 9am and we got into the gates about 11.

All day long the main stage had no more than 500-700 people around it. I left at around 7pm to get a late dinner before SCI came onstage. At 9:15 I got back and was shocked to see the main stage area absolutely packed (apparently word of their high energy 2000 performances had been travelling to more people than myself!) If I had to estimate, there were now about 5000-7000 people here, and my hopes of getting down front were dashed. They took the stage just as I found a good spot halfway down the lawn, the lights went down, and they completely tore the place apart from the first notes of CAYA! Crowd went nuts, people grooving all the way to the top of the lawn.

Short by incredibly powerful set, Rivertrance and Texas were highlights for sure. It was amazing, the whole time they played we'd get an occasional spattering of huge raindrops that would last about 2 seconds then stop. You knew rain was coming, but it kept holding off the whole show. Then literally as soon as the last notes of Texas ended and before the band could say "thanks alot!" the skies erupted. Absolute downpour! Not a single person left that show dry (except the band maybe).

Worth every penny of the festival ticket price, best set I saw all weekend!
