Builds to a nice climax after some interesting lines from Garcia. Whole show is worth a listen.

Ends a great Set II sequence. Listen to the drummers play along with the whistle blower in the audience!

If this had been tracked along with the preceding "Playin,'" everyone would have said "of course." This whole second set is killer.

Exploratory version right out of "Terrapin." Donna sounds great, and Phil leads the jam.

The transition into the "Terrapin Station" material is particularly strong, with powerful playing from Keith.

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

Great call Cuse! I stumbled into this show, and this is wonderful! Well worth a listen!

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.
