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

Sonorous twinkly supercharged midwest love with train schedule predicting pockets, per Knight/Egert/Mccabe source

Cape Cod Coliseum

a tender, reactive, pastoral expanse of kind sound. brent contributes a lot. He relinquishes downbeat control to cowboy shenanigans from jerry and phil which get the whole thing ready to spider dance. quite a patient build. Every note is in place. Shows' also got a white water raft race of a Half step>Franklin's and a kind gorgeous Ramble>Music.
