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

Playin' In The Band

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Set 2 levels up a heady slot with whimsical fright and weight provided by a heavy brew of twilight theatrics. Menacing. Actually shows incredible restraint in that respect for a while visionary peripheral drones picturesquely placed. Then drops in upper cuts and antiheroic poundings

cant miss a sunday samson after a 30 min+ scarlet fire that surely shows that 90's playing pushes the limits in terms of vision, texture, narrative and taste, color. Comfy pillowy fanning

possibly one of the best ever, utterly transcendent welnik and lesh architecture in time for Weir sprinkling of delites and bluesy electric/flute fireworks. WIndmilling china rider transition quote
