What happens when a food fight at a Mexican restaurant births one of the greatest jam bands in history? The String Cheese Incident went from ski bums playing for lift tickets in Crested Butte, Colorado to headlining Red Rocks — and Schecky breaks down every wild, cheesy, beautiful moment of that journey.
In this episode, Schecky digs into how SCI formed, how an enchilada-fueled brawl at Donita's gave them their iconic name, and why they sued Ticketmaster to protect their fans. We break down the essential songs every new listener needs — Land's End, Rollover, Rivertrance, and more — and go deep on some of the most legendary live jams ever recorded, including the mythic Asheville Rollover Sandwich from November 2000 and the star-studded Fillmore show mixed at Skywalker Sound.
