The bluebird. So the first time I saw DSO there and it may have been only time although I think I did make it back once or twice after that but Frank and I were on DSO tour. We pull into town and show says it 21 and over. I'm 21. Frank well he just 20. I head to a bar across the street from the venue with a friend. Frank he heads into the venues bathroom. He proceeds to spend 4 hours in a bathroom stall. The lights go down in the venue and Frank emerges from the bathroom. Makes it through the whole show no problem. Man I'm getting old. What fun we had.

Excellent show, we lost ourselves in every song. Weather was perfect and nice to have an outdoor show without the tent (used a tent a few years ago in October) Extremely good VT vibe through out the crowd

This was a very important show for me. I had just lost my grandfather the day before. Hearing the music really lifted my spirits and some songs stirred memories for myself. Box of Rain opener was perfectly fitting. Man smart, woman smarter, ramble on rose, and masterpiece were all played with aplomb. I remember thinking Skip in particularly was on fire. Bit of a hometown show for him. First set really broke open from loser on. Cumberland blues, which is a top 5 song (in case you didn’t know that), had that perfectly dizzying playing. Broken Arrow, another song of the bucket list and another song for Skip. Deal provided a fiery close to the set. Second set was pretty choice imo. Not a huge UJB fan but it made sense for the venue. Mission was fantastic and emotional. Corrina was a nice slinky dance. Loved Jeff’s tone. Unbroken chain (three skip songs!) was really tight. I remember thinking the drums portion sounded like something out of terminator. Low spark has been such a welcome addition to the repertoire. Love it. Jeff had some issues before throwing stones and took a while to get his guitar just right. Couldn’t tell if it was a string or what. Seemed to last forever. And then Dew to finish it all of was about all I could ask for. Very strong finish. Had a feeling they’d have a hard curfew and not do an encore. Bit of a bummer. Loved being on the sand but the venue preparedness was woeful. Six portapotties and they ran out of beer? Come on now. All that aside, it was really wonderful to see so many faces here (you know who you are). Everyone was super kind and supportive. A good night for my soul.
