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

sweet as a honey blossom... garcia was preternaturally layin' his burden down by the riverside pretty much from the get go and it led to 3 decades of craziness, makes you think of hendrix, coltrane, cobain who had a fraction as long. Phenomenally heavy columnic version, bluebird
