Oh my god I couldn't agree more.

When I left our place in Jupiter Friday it was 97 and humid as hell. As soon as I headed south it was BLACK! Everyone in the van was like, "what the hell are you doing?" All I asked them was if we stopped driving cause it snowed

It was very reasonable inside, except in the pit, which could have been much worse... and has been much worse.

Florida run was decent this year, but 2010 was a killer.

Energy level N2 was comparable to SPAC.

Until next year

    You know I never really took that into consideration. Being a resident who lives down here year round, the heat is outright horrible. The rain before the shows and even the trickle during really cooled the place down. Years past I have walked out smelling like an onion and having sweat a 1/3 of my body weight.

    Not saying this weekend was perfect, but is WPB ever going to get an official release?

    2010 would be a good one, if it weren't for the fact that no one wants another release from that year (except those of us that were there.)

    Yes, but I think people were into Boyd jumping the way he did and then getting on top of the speaker, which was something I haven't seen often in the 79 shows I've been to. His energy was amazing there.

    How dare you say that you had fun even though Boyd was off key? I mean all those fucking awesome shows from 1993-2001 he was always, spot on...

    I had a fucking blast and I say, fuck the haters....

    Dave was pissed at the Let you Down screamers....

    I always thought 2008 was a good weekend at WPB, if I remember it right. I should go look it up.

    I'm kinda in both camps I guess. I was really enjoying watching him go nuts on the speaker and jump around, but at the same time it was impossible for me to not hear the skrees and cringe a little bit at each of them.

    I didn't sit down and pout or go get a beer, so I guess in the end I was in the "just have fun" camp.

    Good job guys. Not only did it not get the damn song played, but the song is probably shelved for good now.

    For other "numbers" people out there, I have some fun Florida stats to throw at you.

    This year's Florida Swing saw 60 distinct songs (six total repeats), up from 55 distinct songs in 2014.

    We got 37 songs (62%) in 2015 that were not played in the 2014 Florida Swing.

    Each year since '09 has shown an increase in unique songs played. We got 51 in 2013, 48 in 2012, 43 in 2010, 38 in 2009... all the while being generous in counting partials and intros/jams like Still Water, WIW, etc.

    *Your results may vary due to some nuances, like if you count ASTB and PNP as "songs" (I think I did) or if you count the LIOG reprise in the encore in WPB N2 '15, which I didn't count as a distinct song. An argument could be made for WWYS counting twice in '15 (I did not) because it was acoustic in Tampa and Electric in WPB. But I digress. You get the idea. It was an awesome three night run in the Sunshine State!

    Thanks, Jacksondavid... Your show spread is wild- started in '96 in Memphis for four shows then took a bit of a break until 2012. This year was a pretty good one to hit all three Florida shows!

    You'll be passed out before half time. He likes me for my body not my music. That's the kind of man he is. He's just trying to make the tape. Pretty hilarious rant by Dave

    Okay- this is not a post about the venues. I know the Gorge is incomparable, and I hope to make it there one day.

    But from a setlist perspective, is anybody else curious about how our three Florida shows will stack up against the Gorge this weekend? As I posted above, the setlist variety and lack of repeats in Florida were excellent this year. The song selection also was spot-on for me personally, since I got my top eight live DMB songs. Obviously that's subjective.

    Song selection-wise I think it will be remarkably close, and I think it will come down to the Lovely Ladies. I don't dislike the LL, but I don't personally care for several of the songs that they tend to guest on, and we managed to avoid those songs this year while adding some treats with Branford Marsalis.

    Wishing those at the Gorge a fantastic weekend!

    It's not even close. So, uh, I hope the Gorge folks don't find this and somehow blame me for the way things are going out there

    Tonight should be interesting, and I hope they get one heck of a show. My goodness, do they deserve it.

    So this year we're planning to hit up WPB.

    We're looking at the Fairfield Inn there, it's a decent looking hotel, pretty well priced (119 a night) and seems to be pretty well located. Any must see places or best restaurant suggestions? We're probably gonna come in a day or two early to vacation before the show.
