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

Eagle cresting soloing on this beautiful 89 ujb, vocals are bad but the inspired performance more than makes up for it, soaring version

just stunning. Beautiful heights of pillowy, luxuriant depths of cloudborne thought trains stopped for delays of mortality. Hunter's specialty since at least 87 was teleprompter state of the unions, always loved this gorgeous one, jerry set it amazingly, the harmony is so classical and the delivery is peak twilight texture, especially evident when light shining forth affixed the trappings of the cracks of space. Deep stuff, then jerry lets fly a tremendous breathtaking facemelter. michelin star version duuuude..!!
