DSOTM # 215 - 2/13/70

This months show is one of those nights with the Grateful Dead where everyone seems to remember the date.  Hard to think we waited  this long, but here we are.  For the intermissions you just get an extra dose of the two of us... too good of a night to even have to think about anything but an amazing show!  Enjoy ya'll.
