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

Bird Song
June 26, 1993
RFK Stadium

Lush and pastoral, lots of syncopating spectral construction. Triumphant weir work. Classic fanning and midi dervishing
One More Saturday Night
June 22, 1991
Soldier Field

Gooey. Fascinating two-keyboard, vinnie's walmart plinky trumpet section and Hornsby's blue hot grand piano chops. They lay into this one
Terrapin Station

Soldier Field

Goliath one... massive waves of phil, marathon midi seshing and choral improv. This tour is special, even setlists with commonly played selections crackle and flow with euphoric novelty

super nice... over and out soon but it's on the level, well developed and harmonically pillowy.
Black Peter

Soldier Field

Typhoonic, this one slams. Cerebral and punishing
