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

warp speed and first rate. beautifully flowing work all around. one of those versions resonating and reacting, mutating within its own escape room universe.

wicked... phil and drummers take it around the room out of the gate for the tiger springboard of a symphonic build... generous ripper of riffy positivity
