My birthday show (albeit a few years early). Worth it just to hear what comes out of Bobby's throat at the beginning of the song.

From an all-around great show (the extra accent in the count-in must have caused some smiles)

It sounds like the boys gave a little extra on these "American" songs for their European fans.

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.
