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

Franklin's Tower
Dec. 4, 1979
Uptown Theater

excellent, spritely tadpoles on a meltkissed brook. Unique and hot chicago jam to follow. Aromas of Stranger and dancin' blended in with old school Feelin' groovy Tighten up/Hard to handle/Soul vibes. Mesmerizing and radiant passage of virtuosity effortlessly woven into deep groove. Powerfully kinetic.

happy 45th to this herculean achievement of beautiful music. This is a lights out, headphones all the way up, deep Godchauxs and mickey pilled listen.
