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

this one is twinkly, melodic, and symphonically paced. Phil steers the ship. this whole sequence is drenched with inspiration!

insane jam! Billy hits hypergroove and swirls everyone into a typhoon of funky jazzy awesomeness, very hot!

vicious! Sinister jerry work and fanning from all!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 4, 1991
Richfield Coliseum

wow this one is rowdy and magical. Drummers throw away the paperwork early and devilish lines and long elegant ideas flow from all! Many peaks! Midwest love at its most obvious

Capital Centre

weaving hymnal hemlock grace builds into a volcano of ecstasy! Great version!
