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

this one is worthy, jerry steers the ship. Phil all over the fretboard. Glorious, levitating, atmospheric. not the best of the month, even so, there is plenty to fawn over in this excellent version. Plenty of squishmeister, great textural backing, and devils awesomeness.

propulsive and creative. Bobby restraining order vocals. inspired interlocking pulsating rhythms with the harmonic intensity of primo 16-bar form Dylan. Octopus dead
