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

Interesting to hear from u Grendel as a tour hound. As a next gen it is easy for me to love 1985 especially the spring summer run, just boatloads of fun in how fat the tones and driving and wandering yet propulsive the whole thing is. Euphoric transition, oh to get greasy on the bus to jams such as this
