Deal??? What a great closer.....i mean opener!! It just felt like the whole show was backwards. Morning dew to open the 2nd set?? It was just not heard of in those days. Small place to see the dead in. I got real close to the stage. The band were goofing off, laughing and have fun on the stage.
One of the BEST Morning Dews i ever heard.
This palce is long gone. There is a big condo in its place now
A+++ show!!!

I agree with Gary

GREAT SHOW----because they mixed things up...besides the awesome playing . Third song: Iko Iko! They were in a really great mood on the stage and the crowd responded. The sunsine felt good for this northen boy too!

 

MY FIRST SHOW!! (of only 2)...has to be 5 stars!

I'd just moved from UK to work in the Bahamas. Took 2 flights to Miami and lost my hotel ticket. Befriended by Marcia & Mike Elder who saved the day, as they would for the next 12 years - love you guys.
The drive to the sportatorium was surreal, being surrounded by deadheads. I'd left a small British industrial town and I'd never seen anything like it.
I think I spent most of the gig pinching myself. I really didn't know any songs until Sugar Magnolia!! At the end of the first set everyone buggered off for a beer and a smoke, so I got within about 20 feet of the stage. I didn't even know about drums>space - so that's what I remember first. I certainly remember Bobby climbing onto the speakers!!!
