Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Greek Theater

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

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

ole faithful geyser of scarletfire goodness. Soaked in that party time devil may care energy that a lot of 81 performances have, continued from a rowdy set 1, funky unique melt, fire passes a polygraph and seeps in becoming gaseous, intangibly manic.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

Glimmery speeding ticket 81 china rider. Fluid poseidon-kissed tiger work
Looks Like Rain
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

Greek magic, autobahn rendering of a sleazeball sales pitch, everyone on thin ice in time for Phil oppenheimer rituals and overall kung fu. 60% of the time LLR slaps every time. Snowy and beefy unstoppable pedal/rack sound
Bird Song
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

dark unhinged tunnels of freaky jam on this mammoth lockheed bird
Shakedown Street
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

Slinky down the steps of the greek, escalator of nasty feverish tone, xxxtra helping of grit
