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

Phenomenal version, scary intro piercingly heavy angels. Everyone strapped in for type 2 feeling. Hits hard at the soul such as Burlington or Saratoga 83.

slow winner. clarion synth and delay textures, tunneled out garcia vocal. hits at the heart of their arena-borne sound, shows that the lineup with mydland had by now mastered the dimensions of their conventional size venues on tour. Resonant with sympathetic glee and virtuously gracing overtones into yer head feeding thru massive racks of solid state. Goes out quick tho
