    "This was a fantastic show, I really liked both nights. The boys weren`t afraid to play their new stuff and I am down with that. It was a fun kick off to the Cheese Summer Tour. Way to go boys! Next time do a late night with no end and lets just have a throw down. The Naive Melody or this is the place was a good encore to this night and if you listen I am the guy that started the clap towards the end of the song. I was fucked up and started clappin real hard, like most kids do at cheese shows, and then everybody started clappin around me it was very cool! GO BIG SUMMER CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!"

    "Saturday Night was the 2nd night I ever saw SCI (if you count Fri night as the first). Both were GREAT shows, I felt that Cheese performed at a awsome level. I am a cheese head for good. Thanks guys. "

    "I found it pretty odd the way in which Jason was introduced as a guest by Kyle to begin the percussion jam. It seems as though some are hesitant to establish him as an "official" member, as Billy did at Madison and several other shows. Any way the waka jam seemed a lot like Pirates to me, but I guess not. The Texas opener was a lot of fun, a great way to open a show. And a nice nod to the very noticeable police presence at the festival. This Texas was much different from those most recently played. Not trancey at all, and no slide guitar from Billy. However it really evolved into a nice thick groove. This quickly went into Restless, no extended intro, but a really upbeat fast paced version. Joyful Sound was great to hear and definitely brought spirits up, followed by a well placed Heart of Saturday Night. Although Kyle introduced On Fire as a new song, I had heard it twice on Spring Tour. I really like this new song and I think it has some great potential. I wish they would ad the electric drum layer back into the mix, I think that was great. But it seems as though they are toning the whole "trance" thing down a little bit. What I know>Trance>Cant Stop Now was absolutley sick. Tons of fun! This was followed by the best Desert Dawn I have ever heard. PERIOD. I was slightly disapointed by the Naive encore, I have heard this cover way too much, ironic as I used to love and chase it. I thought the transition into HMGCL was also very weak, and the boys flubbed it pretty bad. But none the less a better way to end a show than Naive. Following the show, Galactic! Good set from what I saw, but I headed over to check out Mountain of Venus, and who do you think I see...well Kang, Travis, Keith, and Mr. Jason Hann. Left `em alone, but Keith was definitely getting down. See you OTR."

    "Best Desert Dawn ever, one of the best Rivertrances, and, just what we needed; a Texas opener! This was my 7th show and it is tied with Langerado night one as the best ever. Cheese sounded better in the small tent than on the main stage the night before! (I mean sound quality as well as performance values) Truly a must-have show."

    "Tripped balls the night before and was somewhat let down, but they totally redeemed themselves the next night. Highlights for me- TEXAS!, RIVERTRANCE, MOUNTAIN GIRLS. But am i the only one worried about where SCI is heading? They`re considered the current #1 jam band right now by many, and the new one SOMETIMES A RIVER (played the night before) has about zero jam potential. Not to mention the new one they played Saturday that was supposed to "really rock" and was probably the worst song i`ve ever heard cheese perform. Although i`m all for a band experimenting with different sounds and styles and really have no place to criticize, why on earth would they change the sound that they`ve amazed thousancs with for years! all in all, i will remain a cheese-head for life, but I am definitly worried about how the new ONE STEP CLOSER album will sound! DON`T LET US DOWN GUYS -SKYNNY"

    "I have seen 8 Cheese shows and this was by far the best show. The jams were absolutely amazing and the crowd was hanging on every single note. I would definitely recommend getting a hold of this show."

    "ohhhh by the way the show in the revival tent (6/18/05) was better than the night before. definitely some sweet crunchy cheddar displayed......guy from NORML came out at the beginning and gave a 5 minute crappy marijuana rap and almost ruined my buzz, luckily cheese was there. if u have to choose, this night was better, but barely........highlights: percussion>waka jam, and a sick this must be the place>how mountain girls can love"
