The Miami Arena was quite a place. It could have been a crack buffet. Thank god for the fence. I was going S.F. from Boston via Miami, St.Pete, NOLA, Houston and Dallas in a 1967 Plymouth Valiant. I'm not sure the "I say NO to drugs" sticker on the rear bumper helped at all but we didn't get pulled over in the south or in TX. I miss having no cell phones or web communication and depending on your own character and creativity to get through the day.
I knew very little Dead music. Didn't even know they were still around until I heard they were coming to town, and my inner-hippie freaked out. Got tix to this (I lived in Miami) and the St. Pete Shows and got on the bus. It was great but I didn't know most of the music until they broke out with Dear Mr. Fantasy - one of my Traffic faves, and I was in love.
We arrived the night before from NC and the venue was obviously in a very bad, crackville part of town because they parked us in a fenced parking lot, and there were quite a few of us and closed the gate and guarded it. Yikes. I remember in the lot the next day we saw and heard what must have been over 100 cop cars raging up the interstate going to a call. Apparently they would go to calls with overwhelming numbers to have a chance to compete with the crime in Miami.
