Yes, that's Bobby's odd singing. He's using a lower sort of timbre for his vocal style. I suspect he was either wasted, trying over-hard to vamp as a way of changing things up, or both. I suspect the first. Some nights the pre-show indulgences got away from them.
My favorite part is the earth-shaking Phil bombs you get here and there, e.g. 5:41.
A very cool little moment is when the band lapse into Willie Dixon / Howlin' Wolf's "Spoonful" for a few moments. Jerry teased the idea and Brent makes it explicit at 7:03. I'm going to vote this version up based on this little Easter egg.
