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

utterly essential. Roped into one of their hottest gigs of all time, the middle jam on this is epochal stuff

Awesome version, the boss is feeling it and making those old strings shine. Chugging and resourceful clarion summer 93 cut.

unhinged tense and expansive, piercing. Excellent version from a blue hot year.
