Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

chicago loveeeee The music is playing them, very activated and "loose but tight". This one hooked me... weir's vocal puts you up against the wall at knife point, dude knew how to balance that goofy fun persona with jusssstttt a pinch of old school leather clad menace.

Wow!! Heartfelt dispatch from some goopy post-nuke abyss, appropriately sparkled with inspiring phil (head straight for Chappell matrix) Explosive and expansive

.... all 80's love is created equal bro but if you need another Althea check out 9/6/80 Lewiston Maine, more hard-edged and agressive variety
