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

Fantastic samson>uncle john>playin, they get the place vibrating. Activated jerry gives way to a tribal thunderous reading on the first 2 and acres of nomadic, rainsoaked mystery on the PITB.

a chaotic brief wheel>watchtower breaks the dam leaving a crystalline bruce stella in its wake. A foggy dawn shimmering through stained glass icons of the passions. Tortured and despairing + everyone makes em' shine on this

nourishing streams of salty, homeostatic kindness. Maples all crisping in some meadow. this one has some zip and bob and vince pick up the slack excellently, seas of omnisonic glory
