Album · 2020 · SCI Fidelity Records

On the Road: Bridgeport, CT – 7/31/15 is a complete concert by the String Cheese Incident, recorded on 31 July 2015 at the Gathering of the Vibes festival in Seaside Park, Bridgeport, Connecticut. That was the festival’s twentieth edition, and it turned out to be its last. The band’s own label, SCI Fidelity Records, released the recording on 22 April 2020 in its On the Road series of concert releases. The String Cheese Incident at the time was Bill Nershi, Michael Kang, Kyle Hollingsworth, Keith Moseley, Michael Travis and Jason Hann.

The first set was a tribute to Old & In the Way, the band that Peter Rowan, David Grisman, Jerry Garcia, Vassar Clements and John Kahn formed in 1973. Rowan on guitar and vocals and Grisman on mandolin and vocals, its last two surviving members, joined the band, with Chris Pandolfi on banjo and Blaine Sprouse on fiddle. Much of the set came from the group’s 1975 album Old & In the Way, recorded at the Boarding House in San Francisco on 8 October 1973. It included the traditional “Pig in a Pen,” Rowan’s “Panama Red,” “Midnight Moonlight” and “Land of the Navajo,” Grisman’s “Old and in the Way,” and the Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses.” Other songs in the set were “High Lonesome Sound,” “Lonesome Fiddle Blues,” “Catfish John,” “Eat My Dust” and “Ripple.”

The guests sat out the second set, which ran from “Desert Dawn” and “Dudley’s Kitchen” to a reprise of “Desert Dawn,” with Kenwood Dennard on drums for “’Round the Wheel.” The encore was “Restless Wind.” The release runs to twenty-three tracks.
