Bowlive 2011 has come to an end after 10 performances by Soulive and a slew of guests at Brooklyn Bowl over the past two weeks. Earlier, Three Grown Men detailed why Soulive is NYC’s Band and the New York Times seemed to agree. We wanted to share two sets of media from the past few nights. First up is a selection of videos shot by our friend Sunil at Thursday night’s show, which was a tribute to Sly Stone.
Hidden Track was started in October of 2006 and features a team of dedicated contributors from across the country. This article was written by one of the newest members of our team or was a collaboration by more than one contributor. Want to contribute to Hidden Track?

Colorado-based jammers String Cheese Incident played their first show of 2011 last night at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, CO as part of the group's Winter Carnival. SCI bassist Keith Moseley mentioned that the band would dust off a number of tunes they hadn't performed since going on hiatus in 2007 in an interview with HT earlier this month and String Cheese lived up to Moseley's word by including the previously shelved Suntan, Cottonmouth, Big Shoes and Ramble On in the setlist.
The first set finished with the SCI debut of the Colorado Bluebird Sky, a song written by Bill Nershi and his wife Jillian about an east coaster seeing Colorado for the first time. For the start of the second set, SCI offered a version of BAM! that featured a cover of Cee Lo Green's Fuck You in the middle. Also of note, String Cheese's encore featured the Chuck Berry tune Tore Up Over You done in a similar style to the Jerry Garcia Band.
Set 1: Smile, Birdland > Wheel Hoss > Birdland, Sometimes a River, Black and White, Suntan, Don't Say > Water, Colorado Bluebird Sky
Set 2: BAM! > Fuck You > BAM!, Betray the Dark, Rivertrance, Cottonmouth, Piece of Mine, Sweet Melinda, Big Shoes > Ramble On
Encore: Barstool, Tore Up Over You
