The String Cheese Incident - Waiting For the Snow to Fall
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
If expert musical jams and Colorado ski slopes are your idea of heaven on earth, the String Cheese Incident's Waiting for the Snow to Fall is a visit to Shangri-la. A worthy companion to the band's Evolution DVD, this easygoing documentary (coproduced by ski-movie king Warren Miller) follows SCI to their roots in the crisp mountain environs of Telluride, Colorado, and points nearby, as they prepare for a 2002 Winter Festival concert in Denver's Rocky Mountain Fillmore auditorium (released separately). Having paid their dues with several years of heavy touring and zero-budget amenities (including a rickety bus, revived here for some nostalgic bonding), the group members of this democratically leaderless band are relaxed, musically polished, and united in their love for skiing and music as modes of spiritual expression. The five bandmates reflect on their past, the symbiotic nature of their collaborations, and their cooperative philosophies about this juncture in their ongoing progression. "Extra Cheese" bonus features include two multiangle concert excerpts, additional interview clips, crew visits, and wipeouts on the slopes. A delicious vibe, no matter how you cut it. --Jeff Shannon
Description
Waiting for the Snow to Fall is an up-close journey back to the places and towns that helped create, define and shape the members and music of The String Cheese Incident. Pulling their old tour bus, "Bussy," out of retirement, the band embarks on a unique Winter Tour to visit old friends, homes, haunts, and early-day venues. Told in their own words, the documentary captures a time of personal reflection while the band members truly celebrate all that their Rocky Mountain base has to offer: skiing, rich musical traditions, and stunning natural beauty. With the help of ski film specialists Warren Miller Films, this movie captures a side of the band that fans have never seen.
