This show circulates in a more complete form under the date of 02/28/71. A pair of shows, 02/27 and 02/28/71, actually. It's hard to say which date is the true one, unless someone attending 02/18/71 can recall LaFlamme being on stage. I don't have the set lists handy, but the 02/28/71 date version contains a good 3 or 4 more songs (maybe more). I also don't recall the venue off the top of my head.
There is also a radio interview with Dawson from this period (??/??/71) where he mentions shows coming up, or just having happened, and it might shed some light on the validity of the 02/28/71 show date as being legitiment at least. The 02/27&28/71 pairing have been around for a while. Not sure when 02/18/71 started circulating with 70% of the 02/28/71 set list. Honestly, I don't have a definitive sense of which date is correct, but I'd lean to the 02/28/71 date myself. I've been pondering it for a long time and can't seem to reach the be-all-end-all answer.
