Bobby belts it, Keith slides in perfect synchronicity. Don't miss the surprise " Johnny B. Goode" parts Garcia throws in.

In the transition in from "Wheel," you can hear some of the ideas Garcia brings into his solos during the mid- and late- May "TOO"s

The chords and initial drum beat said "NFA," the the groove kept saying "Iko."

Nice call gdtrfb, I love these Lee AUDS. This one sounds very nice, and the crowd is rowdy! Here's the version I checked out: https://archive.org/details/gd1970-03-21.late.aud.lee.pcrp.21779.shnf

My current theory, though I need to check out its placement in the rest of the tour, is that the quirk comes from the fact that Garcia is exhausted but they're playing really well as a band and make it happen collectively.
