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

Madison Square Garden

earns the upvote. Classic wavy grooves. Does not depart from the initial pulse but calmly gets more frantic if that makes sense... Clearly everyone is focused and wants to have a great show at msg.

pure, aligned, ripping. Rolls away the yuppies and non-vagrants of our moats. busted out only twice after brent and this one rules a lot

Cumberland County Civic Center

Feels like a debauched rim dip poke warts and all, in the spring tour scene. Whole show is mega articulated and precise, Jerry turns it into a sorority rally with smile smile smile!! Never too fast but still brimming with the conversational politeness that yields that pleasant platitude of a nice dead jam, what song is this

you could definitely take a bath in jerry's shattered vocal lead performance, a man on the edge for sure... searing. Haunting
