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

all late Brent ships are massive fatty versions, love this squishy silvery gloaming-hour one!! you want garcia to just guide you through to sitting in the old folks home sans all the bullshit but at least there's hot summer 89 to distract us in the meantime. Really dynamic brent work gets piano synth and organ into this one. This one slows down and only gets more rhythmically diverse as it goes on. primo blends

A wondrous 19 minute segment of Hornsby training wheels for tiger football stadium inspiration movements. Sugaree heats on the coil, first innocent then mortal and staggering. This long man smart flows like the Ganges.

An epochal call to send this night out on cosmic tonez and plains of imported planetive headiness. Floorboard levitator
