EPIC. i mean it was THE BEST possible scenario. (gary will post a pic later>>) we got there early and claimed the front row. after the show started security ropes off all access to the front row (yes, it was a velvet rope!). so we had the entire front row to ourselves with a personal security team that made sure no one infiltrated our "VIP section." the entire front row (stage left) was starheads. there were like 15 of us. (and matt and lisa were holding up stage right's front row). i cant really do it justice with words, but it was a sacred space. everyone had such high energy, everyone danced sooo hard, and had soooo much fun. we were all smiling like Cheshire cats the whole show. this venue raised the bar... musically speaking.. SUPERB!! every song PEAKED very high.. everything song was note worthy.. stop that train and gimme some lovin opener were both real treats.. but i could say something about every song.. it was one of those nights florida has been an absolutely amazing run... its been so great to hang out with the family.. special thanks to vince and sue, and kris and steve for putting us up in there homes (and guest homes) and taking such good care of us! and thanks to dso! i love you soooo!

Guest captain420 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 STOP THAT TRAIN WOW! I always say more jerry band, but holy smokes that stop that train was a great treat, thank you JOHN! Stella blue man, stella blue! Namaste Gimme opener and STANDING ON THE MOON....that was great...but that stop that train man! The velvet rope experience was crazy, I think we are all spoiled now...sound was good, but I was a little too close to the speaker during the first set, it was peaking out on someones instrument and killing my ears when the song climaxed, like during music at the end, sick... Chuck, we missed you up front.... I didn't know Lisa was coming, it was nice to see her there...Ellen and Kelly made it safe, great to see the west coast folk represent... One long party from front to end...thank you Vince, Sue, the whole damn Perrotti family, Steve and Kris for providing accommodations for all of us...the family is an integral part of this thing and to say the least, we are all blessed to be able to be part of something THIS special and THIS true...

Kira Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Not the least bit surprised with the Cold Rain and Snow opener, especially with EVERYONE knowing that those of us up here got a fine rendition of FREEZING SLEET AND ICE! Love to all. Miss you so. Thanks for the call and text Jordan. I'll be waiting for the next installment! And to those of us up here in Skate City, well, walk gingerly!!

Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted January 31, 2009 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Epic dancing upstairs in balcony aisles. Paradise. No sound tradeoff. One for the books...that book just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Namaste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuddsv Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 My ears are STILL smiling from this JAX show! They just keep getting better and better each and every time... St. Stephen > William Tell > The Eleven was mindblowing... The Music Never Stopped reached levels that I never thought possible... and Stop That Train...well, I think Stop That Train has already been summed up perfectly here...WOW! A pleasure as always, Chuck...we had ourselves quite a spot up there in the balcony! The Florida Theater is a tour stop that should not be missed...gorgeous venue, cool staff, and the sound was absolutely stellar! Thank you, Rob, John, Rob, Lisa, Kevin, Dino, Rob, and all of the DSO crew...another night of music that will never be forgot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinfool Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 What a weekend!! Absolutely fantastic show in JAX the theater was BEAUTIFUL and huge there was barely anyone there, 500 maybe? but the florida heads who did make it there were really into it and the show was smoking hot John was truly on fire!!! many places to dance most everyone was dancing I felt like I was levitating at times absolutely amazing to reach that "Lift Off" feeling when dancing wonderful give and take energy between the stage and the floor true symbiosis every song a perfect fit love that feeling it was well worth the long plane ride so much fun to see all the star heads thanks so much Everyone for being there and sharing the magic yet again the band and fans included we are so blessed -e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancin on a pin Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 This was my favortie show of the run. I usually prefer the surprise an elective provides, plus the venue was simple amazing. The ceilings were carved wood painted in a mix of greens and browns, the chandeliers looked like Tiffany glass. The front row was so very special. Nothing to complain about there. Thick plush carpeting good on the feets, the night before left me hurting. There is not much to be said about dancin in the streets. Does not make these old bones feel very good. Gimmie Some Loving was exceptional and Standing on the Moon made me cry. Stop that Train deserves a huge mention another incredible song. Star heads were the happiest I have seen. Thank you everyone for making this happen.

Vince and Sue Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 No work for me this morning, so we re-assembled the kitchen staff from the Ledges (Chef Steve, Brian, & myself) and started up the omelet station. We had 13 sleeping over, so we had to work hard and fast. We all need nourishment for the body as well! The rain stopped, the sun came through, but there was still a "nip in the air". The Starhead Express loaded up and off to Jax we rode. The venue, as all who chimed in before, was stunning. The private front row was truly unbelievable. Were they really gonna rope off our section? They did! What a freakin show. Somebody please put this up, as they were many mics in the building. To me it was like seeing the Dead in Radio City, front row, minus the NYC lunatics! Take yer shoes off and just dance! After Easy Wind, Gary turned around and we both said at the same time "best EW ever played!" Stop That Train>Music Never Stopped set closer was epic. JK went wild, lights down, focused frenzy, on the peak of Music. 2nd set stands alone, period. Sue & I finally got our Eleven, as all you lucky Noreasters, had earlier. Wow! Off to a house in Ormand Beach, then on to Pompano!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP HelpSlip Posted February 3, 2009 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 everyone nailed it that this show was supremely awesome!!! the first set was one of the hottest i've seen, easy wind always pure smoke, cold rain bucket was a cool opener, StopThatTrain was perfect! and then the second set pretty much speaks for itself, crazy>stephen>eleven!! wowww and the SOTM, the best one i've caught w/o a doubt.

greyhead Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Finally got Jax done. Was my 100th show. Hope you enjoy. http://picasaweb.google.com/Greyhead.gh/Fl...087083880537234 Should have the rest of the shows up soon. The sunset picture were taken from our patio at the Hotel. The Florida Theater what a grate place, one usher was a 60 yr old Deadhead. First time fro DSO and he's hooked. Us Starheads had our own place up front as you can see from the pics. No hassle from staff and really nice carpet to dance on. Small show but my opinion this was the best of the 4 show our caravan saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
