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

Independently of prior, thought to myself that Lesh has red carpet magnetism with matching headstock-less Alembic and crewneck sweater in periwinkle. Weir has a fresh founding fathers cut and again Jerry on some lord of the rings shit in that shawl. Brent holding down the fort in the same shirt from a month prior. no group of men has ever looked like this
