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

Rupp Arena

Swimming in clairvoyant ambivalent wisdom, the rippling aftershocks of realizings soundtrack by Phil and the devils loving coo. mesmerizingly sensitive chamber drama. Wolf goes seagull mode, beautiful Keith, heavy yet nimble Devils. Perfect april 78 magic on display all night
Ramble On Rose

shattering, powerful wolf soloing. Fruitful kind one

magic, this one is a safely sheltered ride in a velvet-seated limo through some disgusting DMT landscape where you never break through
