Been listening to this every chance I can all week. The band's so tight, Bobby's singing passionate and precise, Jer's musicality soaring. Amazing.

Exhuberent and triumphant. Closes out one hellofa 2nd set and kicks like a rocket.

Sweet and subtle: A beautiful come down after the muscular peak Eyes - but the set isn't done and they ramp it up again for more. A gem of a show.

Interrupted by bad fight in front of the stage. Phil goes bonkers, calls the security guard "Asshole". Weird scene/bad vibes.

Keith on organ just kills it. He's hot in the mix and the song has a totally different feel for it. Show overshadowed by Nov.-Dec. '73 but worth it.

The shows that keep on giving deliver another one. This is just the top. Perfect execution.

Thanks HVD. There is other confusion in the February '70 chronology: The (amazing) show on the 12th is listed as an "unannounced" show at Ugano's nightclub during this run, and several folks believe it was in fact the Early show at the Fillmore on the 13th. In any case this whole period is just top-shelf essential Dead and I'm glad to be hanging out here for awhile.... Cheers!

Archive has a Love Light on this date but setlists.net doesn't. Any additional information? The "first set" on C. Miller's work CRS, DS>SS>The Eleven, Love Light is all just goddamned brilliant - but where's the confusion from? If this set wasn't the early show from 14.02.70, when was it? Thanks, team.

More coherent and jamming than everybody's favorite the night before. Tremendously under-rated, and why? The 13th may have more highlights, but this show STARTS with a killer jamming Dark Star, (The Cold Rain is super fine too) which should signal to everyone that they meant goddamned business. This a desert island show for me.

While the 13th got most of the love, the 14th is to my ears more consistently musically tighter and more jamming. This is presently my favorite NFA, and "favorite" is not a word I use often. Think I'll sit on this show for a spell and enjoy being a deadhead.
