Great harp work from Pigpen, who's voice was still strong and full of blues: Great crunchy jamming from the band.

With the power to blast you out of your chair. Watch your dose, it's that strong.

Any question's about primal Dead? Answer's right here in the outro of this psychedelic monster. A really hard core brainmelter, this.

Has it all. Builds and builds up to a great peak with Jer and Keith playing all out behind a great Bobby performance.

Maybe I'm the only Head out there who digs this song, but damn if this isn't a beauty. Tight harmonies and a good-times feeling.

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.
