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

The Spectrum

one of the best ever. Heads from meadows of bliss to snarling cosmic antipathy. Perfect example of the power of their gear, backed up with a solid foundation of pure musicianship, in full force.

Berkeley Community Theater

one of the fastest, starts sloppy joe then once the devils lock in by first solo it's absolutely gorgeous. A lot of drugs were involved.
