Long crystal clear Jerry solos throughout and a great recording for '68. Gets tighter throughout the jam.

Fast, reckless, and smokin' hot. A must have for fans of '68 and all its psychedelic glory. Goes into a nice best New Potato Caboose too.

Succinct and powerful. A nice '68 set starting (!) with Dark Star and Stephen. Mellow.

Great extended spacey jam. Check out around 05:10 - 05:40 for what sounds impossibly like a FTM tease. PHIL !

Jerry's on fire in this show opener. Not my favorite song, but just a rippin' version here. Wish I could have been there....

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.
