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

lethargic, profound, tiger goes in for summer 84 prey of wispy mysterious magnetic lead work. Weir and lesh on those graphite-necks are adding tiered fountains of scrumptious texture, emphatic screamer of a 4.0 wharf and set 2. Chills.
