Seems to me that not many zoners made it to miami. It being super bowl weekend and all down there, airfares and hotel prices were probably elevated.

nice recording and good start to the tour from what I've listened to. Great jam in Ramble on Rose.

What an amazing show. The first set was one of the best single sets of Dead music I've seen since Jerry died. No stops between songs, either set.

some notes: opening jam sounded like TOO. John sang Fantasy. ONTRA was a little disjointed, but nice jam out of it. They stopped for about 10 secs after Franklins and then started up the chorus one last time.

notes: every time they started Viola (including opening jam) it sounded like China Cat to me... same tempo... so I wasn't surprised when they finally started CCS. Good Lovin' was a bit lacking in energy until they got to the jam, which cranked. Phil sang Lady; John sang "Terrapin". Rider was amazing!

Venue was great! Great sound everywhere, esp. up front. Phil was cranked up WAY loud. About 5K capacity I'd say... just like the Charlottesville venue, except no roof. It rained some, but not too bad at all. Downtown Miami was buzzin' with Saints and Colts fans everywhere. Can't wait for tonight!

Well well well Mother Fuckers....
Its my turn to see the show as yall read me.
God this feels good!
Excellent weather for February for an outside show.
Miami always have and always will know how to host a show with our Boys. As long as no one is stabbing or shooting someone its all good.
Sound was good to excellent from closer rows. Phil was off the chain for a 69 year old dude, and Bobby was very good in his Bobby ways, John was a little quiet on his vocals but was very good at keeping pace and pickin his way around the tunes, actually at 2 points CCS and IKYR I thing he plain ole ripped it up.
There were 3 or 4 areas it was a little rough in song changes but what the fuck.
If you were there last night and did not have a good time, You probably were in a coma or with the prissy ass woman that bitched at her man all night long.
Poor bastard tried to have fun but I think I would have ditched her.
See ya in Orlando

Great great job by Phil on Dear Mr Fantasy!

not sure where to start

i will say this...

i haven't been this happy in a long time

phil stepping up to sing franklins was as fine a feeling as there is to be had... just waved out cascading joy far and wide

they seemed to really enjoy being in south fla...

phil spoke of the fact that they need play down here wayyyy more...

havent heard him that fired up during a donor rap since "playing in new york city is like a good fuck"

hell fucking yeah

god bless this band

Ah... Phil's getting old and wants to move to Florida. Typical.

LMAO


judging from the extreme levels of satisfaction last night...

i'd say

THE BASE IS FIRED UP

Man what a show! I will admit I was a pretty much a freaking vegtable last night due to road weariness and lack of sleep but once we actually arrived in Miami and got to the venue and I got some good food in me my energy level shot back up and the new band grabbed my ass and started it shakin'! "Seems like I been here before" and it was good to be back.

We heard most of the sound check which was pretty impossible not to hear if you you anywhere near the venue so I kinda knew what to expect. On the road again and Mr. Fantasy were soundchecked but the rest of the show was put together nicely and flowed pretty well for the most part. The weather was perfect with the exception of some minor sprinkles to cool us down. I'm glad it didn't pour. The Miami skyline in the background was the perfect setting for this very urban outdoor downton concert.

I've never been to Miami before. It was a trip driving through a big ass ecclectic downtown area for about an hour and then all of a sudden we took a left turn right into Grateful Deadland and everything seemed normal! Haha. The band sounds great! Jerroid which I like to call him seems to give them a whole new level of energy (especially Bob) that ensures me they have been having a good time playing together and will give the masses of fans a new sense of renewal to the spirit of this music.

John is a good addition imo. Dude has his dream job and you can tell he is fucking loving it! Anyways, just wanted to give a few thoughts of the first show....I'm rested and ready for tonight here in Orlando. I hope the indoor venue at The Hard Rock holds in a little more of the energy they are throwing off. lets do it again Boys!

FURTHUR!

Great review....I am so ready for Wednesday.

Front row center can do that to you.

FURTHUR!

You can stream the show here:

Told ya it was all fired up, Okie.

Keep the mother rolling....

FURTHUR for fun

DITCH THAT B$%^&H! Glad everyone had such a great time,I am still recovering from all the west coast shows! See y'all at Phil's birthday,love Bruce!

Didn't they also end 5/14/09 with China/Rider?

http://www.archive.org/details/furthur2010-02-05.B ayfrontAmpitheatre

listened to first set,sounds great,thanks!

Some good pictures at otherones.net. Phil and Bobby look great - Bob obviously has hit the gym since Spring Tour with the Dead last year.

Wondering how many people were at the show last night? It would be cool to have this band be able to pull in enough people to fill some sheds this summer, w/o an opening act.

They should play the Highland Bowl in Rochester this summer. Both Bobby and Phil have played it the last 2 years, holds about 10,000 people, and inmho (and that of many others) it is one of the best venues/scenes. I think someone referred to the Phil show there as the "best-case scenario" concert.

You're right, Bob looks much better than last spring. I was thinking how rough he was looking when I saw an interview with him. He's lost weight, in a good healthy way. Can't wait for Charlotte, my one and only show.

I hope Bob looks that way out of choice and hard work and not because of poor health. Best to him.

No big venues, please. A 2-3 thousand people at the party is plenty. Love the intimacy of the PL&F tours. Like walking back in time and being privy to the early days. Walking into The Horizon in Chicago this past summer was a real bummer.

Just a sicko Dear MR FANTASY

Ex-Dead members pull in Garcia’s spirit with Furthur
By Andrew Abramson | Live Shows | February 08, 2010
For Grateful Dead fans too young to see Jerry Garcia in person, and long-time Deadheads might be a bit dismayed to realize that’s almost anyone under 30, Furthur’s done the unthinkable by channeling Jerry in an uncanny way.
For the rest of the folks, who followed the Dead and have unsuccessfully tried to fill that small void in their life for the last 15 years, the party ain’t over yet.
No one will ever replace Jerry, but by bringing John Kadlecik to the mix, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir have added the missing link – the man who sounds so much like Jerry in every way.
Furthur, the new incarnation of the Dead starts with Phil and Bobby, but it’s Kadlecik that could make this the best post-Jerry experience.

Think of Kadlecik like the guy from the movie Rock Star, who spends his life in the cover band of his favorite group, only to get called up to the big leagues.
After 12 years fronting Dark Star Orchestra, a fantastic group that covers Dead shows to a T, Kadleick gives Lesh and Weir a 40-year-old in his prime that bring a burst of youth to Furthur.
Lesh is just a month away from his 70th birthday and Weir — once the Dead’s youth — is 62.
Kadleick, at 40, is the same age Garcia was in 1982.
But Friday’s show at Miami’s Bayfront Park Ampitheater showed that Furthur isn’t just trying to bring Jerry back in a Dark Star sort of way — they’re moving further, and in this case, that meant going back.
Yes, the under-30 crowd will revel at the opportunity to experience a Dead show, but for the earlier Deadheads, Furthur is busting out tunes long stored in the vault.
On a rainy night in downtown Miami, the band opened with “Born Cross-Eyed”, a song the Dead played nine times in 1968, and none after that.
It’s a wonder why the Dead played “The Golden Road To Unlimited Devotion” throughout 1967, and then dropped it from its repertiore. It’s a fun sing-a-long that Furthur busted out after a lively “Ramble on Rose”.
And how about the “Throwin’ Stones/Viola Lee Blues/Mason’s Children/Viola” jam? Talk about taking it back. “Viola” was a staple in the earliest of Dead shows, and a great blues classic to bring back to the mix.
“Mason’s Children”, played 15 times between 1969-70, resurfaced for an energetic Miami crowd that didn’t seem to mind intermintent rain.
Phil had high praise for the Miami crowd, acknowledging that the boys don’t make it down enough, but might have to start performing regular South Florida gigs.
There were still plenty of empty seats in the 10,000-capacity amphitheater, and you have to wonder if some of the traveling fans were sitting out this tour opener and waiting to join Furthur in Orlando? It would make sense since hotel rooms were impossible to come by on Super Bowl weekend.
With Phil’s announcement that there’s more Miami left in him, it’s a sign that he’s not winding down, an amazing feat not only because he underwent a liver transplant a decade ago, but because he’s turning 70.
As we enter the ’10s, many of the ’60s rockers are hitting 70.
Lesh’s inspired performance at Bayfront Park, complete with his funky bass illuminated by blue lights, shows that these artists will continue to awe us long after we expected them to hang it up.
It didn’t hurt to add some youth to the band. With 33-year-old Joe Russo (of the Benevento/Russo Duo) and 45-year-old Jay Lane (of Primus) on drums, and 41-year-old Jeff Chimenti (Ratdog) on keyboard, it’s old meets new.
Phil Lesh and Bob Weir might be the only Grateful Dead members in Furthur, but if they want to continue spreading the Dead’s word throughout the 2010s, Furthur is the perfect outlet.

Excellent review and I couldn’t agree more.

However, in regard to some of the aformentioned songs, they were not exactly break-outs or new to either Weir’s, Lesh’s or their combined efforts repertoires.

Phil and Bobby’s band have been playing them for over a decade now, and “The Dead” have also played Born Cross eyed 18 times post GD as either The Dead, or The Other Ones as have the played The Golden Road 16 times and Viola Lee 20 times

Rock On!
