2nd set looks great.

They also need to bring BLBC back into regular rotation again.

Damn that looks (jo) really fun

I think it’s purposely bad but fuck is Taste the Biscuit awful. Tragic for the wild card slot

Hopefully it’s the last time that Bayliss thinks this is funny.

From my brother who lives in Burlington: show was solid, band was loose and clearly having fun. Smaller crowd compared to last year, but somewhat attributed to northlands, as a lot of the “regulars” at higher ground were absent.

PS. Long time viewer, first time posting…I enjoy what the bort provides for my umphreys fandom.

What a grand ol’ time. You can feel the energy in that room, man.. I listened to 10/16/2013 so much I feel like it spawned on another monster Dump in the same room shrug grasping at straws aside, what. A. Show.

Whole 2nd set alone was worth the price of admission, another casual 5 song s2, what a treat! One of the better opening s2 1, 2 punches I’ve seen. S1 is no slouch either, funny seeing a Taste The Biscuit cc ITK, Mulche’s and 2nd half of Fir

Neat room to see em in, glad I made the trek.

VT is gorgeous state. Over&out!

Dump was a little messy but overall I liked it and thought it was doing interesting stuff. The Girlfriend is really good too, very exploratory.

It was sooo slick how they landed on that chord progression too, like double time soycd. Felt natural in the moment

Circled back to this show, and this 2nd set has boogers cuz it’s still sick.

Happy Anniversary fun show! Glad I was able to make this trek. Totally worth every mile, got to drive thru the Adirondacks a bit omw up, took the ferry across Lake Champlain. Dope spot to crash along the water. Venue is top notch.

The stews in this show are incredible. Kitchen, Fir, all of s2+E = amazing show. Specifically that Dump City to kick things off. 1st of 2 5 song 2nd sets I had the fortune of seeing last sUMmer. Gonna have to spin this one,

Vermont is a gorgeous state
