Exactly what I look for in an Eyes. As good as they come.

Ecstatic, exhuberent, exciting. Great end to a great set.

The Other One

U.C.

Starts like a rocket, lands on Mars bigtime, then light-speed re-entry to a killer Eyes in under 10 minutes after a balls-out Truckin. Great set.

Massive Phil and Jerry co-soloing in a supersonic mindmeld for 19 minutes. Very special with a raw, almost brutish energy.

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.
