Man - I got a hissed out bootleg tape of this when I was in 7th grade! I listened to this over and over and over - I memorized all of the smack that Pig Pen ripped during Lovelight.....that alone is worth giving this one a listen.......but in general to me this is classic Dead 1970....what got me hooked! PADJ - BTW this sbd sounds awesome without all the tape hiss from my ole maxell XL 90.

★★★★★ · late show 3/21/1970 · dbates1953 · 2015
This was my third show(2/14/70, and the late show from the night before). Catfish opened again and had tough time with audience partication. The Dead were great as always at the Capitol Theater. They always played great at this theater.
★★★★ · Great early '70 show! · Folkhippy · 2009
This hidden gem has in the past been overlooked due to poor sound quality and ambiguous date, after the killer month of Febuary and before the better know shows later in the Spring. With this new source and transfer, the full glory of this concert can be brought to light. The sound is WAY cleaned up from its previous 2/5 sound quality. The tape hiss is brought down and the instruments are more separated. Sounds pretty decent through head phones!
