Friday, the 13th: Black Sabbath's first album is released, The Who performed at Leeds, The Grateful Dead played at New York's Fillmore East.
This is my favorite Dark Star. I'm sure we could talk about that for a while. Anyway, find your copy and enjoy. Fifty one years later this cold February day.
Long Live The Grateful Dead!

According to the article krab
According to the article krab linked, that Ugano's recording is the first set from 2/13/70.
Cool read, krab. I'm just learning about Janet Soto's list (which is linked in the lostlivedead article) now.

As fantastic as that footage
As fantastic as that footage of February 1970 is I don't think it's 2/13. I know every note of that dark star and I really don't think that's it. As I type these words I am again struck by the fact that it there is a difference that COULD be noticeable.

I've been sorting this out
I've been sorting this out for years. These shows ran so late it's hard to tell when starts and the other begins. The dark star in question was part of the 2-13 late show that was mainly performed after midnight. There were so many mislabeled tapes everybody's perception of that run is different. Old time zoners remember heated debate as to whether there even Two shows per night (which actually involved Bear if I recall)

Setlist.com only shows three sets for 02/13/1970, but the running order of songs is the same. Here's what Deadbase 50 has for the entire run.

Hey Krab,
Hey Krab,
Interesting read about Ungano's . There is an apt building at the address and a revolving list of restaurants that have occupied part of the ground floor. It also happens to be next door to my son's elementary school and we walk by it often. I never knew the history of the space and how the GD played there. It will be one more GD fact I can through at my kids to annoy them.

Five dollars bought a lot of stuff in 1970. A pizza was probably a couple of bucks, just sayin'.

It looks like tickets were $3
It looks like tickets were $3.50, $4.50, and $5.50, except for Tuesdays, when it was $1.50 for what looks like a new talent showcase.
