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

Dark hallucinatory seance funk. A triumph.
Bird Song

Pine Knob Music Theatre

craning in gorgeous lush, sheer, velvet peerings of having taken down notes of aviary refractions, hudson-bound or a baltic chateau. Dripping with gnarly septet blackberry jam. this is as close as bird song gets to a fist pumper. Smacks the whole way through, hornsby portal gun as usual, Lesh and devils souffle of spectacular rhapsody, infomercial plink abounds, Utterly kinetic. Reminds me of 5/11 at shoreline, or even 6/19/94
