It’s been three years since the Grateful Dead toured the South, and eager heads were ready for this rare treat. DTV reports on tour setlist and venue highlights as the Dead stormed through Miami and St. Petersburg, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Houston and Dallas Texas, including a venue in Florida featuring a relatively intimate 8,600 capacity. The entire tour was graced with ‘t-shirts and shorts’ weather, with no major problems with local authorities.
