Title: Roll Call - Shelburne "almost Canada" Vermont - 7/12/17
Post by: beardedwonder on Mar 21, 2017, 09:55 AM
Beardedwonder + friend(s)

Okay, I'll gladly do it.

I lived up in the sticks of VT for a long while. Now back on Cape Cod, MA. Shelburne VT is right next to the happening and crunchy "city" of Burlington. Located right on beautiful Lake Champlain. But, I know nothing of this venue or how a show goes down.

This area of Vermont: Shelburne over to Stowe, including my favorite area The Mad River Valley up to Burlington is all relatively close separated by a smallish mountain range. Easy navigating and gorgeous scenery. 

Things I would do:
Hike Camels Hump mountain. Tough hike but very much worth the reward.   

Mountain bike. Plenty of spots in the Mad River Valley.

Paddleboard on the Lake.

Swim: Lake Champlain, Waterbury Reservoir, Swimming Holes (all over) - Warren Falls being the most popular.

Tool around downtown Burlington - Church St. area - people watch. Take in the patchouli.

There are many solid bars, breweries and restaurants all over Burlington all within easy walking distance once you park your car.

We usually stay at this BnB: http://www.willardstreetinn.com
Cheaper hotels are in either South Burlington or Williston. But the best spot for a stay this time of year is: http://fpr.vermont.gov/state_lands/management_planning/documents/district_pages/district_4/little_river

Nectars Bar for late night fries n gravy and live music (where Phish began)

Record shopping: Pure Pop and Burlington Records.

Other more simple towns to check out: Middlebury, Waitsfield, Warren, Bristol. All in the Valley. 
Also, Waterbury and Stowe nearby.

For the more enthusiastic: Montreal is not far (2 hour drive) and more beautiful scenery up through the Islands area of Vermont. 

Here are a few good links:

Ill be coming from the Portland Maine show and meeting up with friends but hoping to spend a few days after the show doing some of the above. See you in the hills!!

Great choice.

It's pretty rural up there. Not a shoppers paradise by any stretch. So mostly outdoor activities. Although touring Ben & Jerrys factory in Waterbury is an indoor touristy thing to do. Another side trip on a multi day stay in that area is to hop on the ferry from Charlotte and head over to NY side of Lake Champlain. Then drive up to Lake Placid/Saranac Lake area. It's a full day round trip.

That's all I got unless u give some hints as to what type of adventures your looking for.

The Spot and Pennycluse are legit - I'll add Sneakers in Winooski to that breakfast list. 

The Farmhouse in downtown Burlington is amazing for beer and food. 

And we can't forget Kountry Kart Deli for a grab n go breakfast or a post bar 2am bite.  "The Shiner" sandwich is one of my favorite foods of all-time.

I used to live on the top floor of the Woolen Mill apartments in Winooski (1998-2000). I could've sworn Sneakers was a redneck coke bar to hear it by name. But wow, I looked it up and it is indeed a fine looking Bistro. I'll def check it out.

Thanks for the suggestions thus far. We are looking for outdoor excursions, hikes, climbs, bike, etc or just anything fun really. Thanks again

Your welcome. The most challenging and popular areas for hiking and biking would be Camels Hump, Mt Mansfield and Mad River Valley. You could also hike part of the Long Trail if your looking for backpacking: https://www.greenmountainclub.org/the-long-trail/

That said the possibilities are rather endless. Your better off choosing an area of the state to explore and go from there. i.e.. The Islands, The Valley, Northeast Kingdom etc

Steam opener, PWW closer! First Light making an appearance! I really liked the way it was played at OBH this year. A more rocking version w/ some great Bo work on it. XMas Curtain making a somewhat rare appearance.

From all the pictures I saw on FB, this looked like a really special show.

Lynchie, we turn our eyes (and mousepads) to you now for a recording lol

hell yes! god bless the goddamn tapers!!!  :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Lynchie, THANK YOU for putting out the Portland 2010 show,  I NEEDED to hear that Chills.

Also, this looks fantastic for a 19 song setlist: Steam opener, Phone ender, Xmas Curtain one of my all time favorite Jacket songs....great show, great setlist. I'm loving this tour, just really wanna see them go crazy at Merriweather and Forest Hills and go for 3 hours each night, there's too much energy at these shows and too much passion not to have it continue, it's such a beautiful thing to watch the footage that's coming in or the tapes. Thank you to all the people making it possible for us out West to see these beautiful shows with you.

Long Live Jacket!!!

I don't know what's better news...

That they busted out OBH early or that they FINALLY changed the arrangement and jammed it the fuck out.

I think I'm going with the latter.

OK Just listened to it after reading this, yes the latter, Carl getting the fuck down!
I do like where they moved it too also, cause after melting your face off you know their not done yet.

Hi folks. Jay from Vermont here. Long time lurker and I really should engage more. :)

Last night was pretty damn cool, special even. They always create magic.

Lynchie, were you at the mics right in front of the board? Meant to swing by after the show, but got just a bit ummmm "distracted." The recording should be sweet as that was a nice little pocket. I was maybe 15 feet in front of the board, right off Jim's spot. Can't wait to hear it!

Peace.

Way too many repeats from Portland IMO. Great venue, can't wait to go back.

They sounded fantastic but I wasn't impressed with the setlist.  I thought they could've squeezed another couple of songs in before the 10 pm curfew

listening to my recording now, sounds nice. I kind of thought they left some songs on the table but I got the setlist and it's song for song how they drew it up. 10 repeats from the night before in Portland. I had a fun time, glad I went, just wish there wasn't so many repeats.
