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

brief but kool, sets up an exceptionally hot sequence and simmers at a subtle pique, picaresquely beckoning. Handsome

Type 2. Positively blinding with veneer. Ferrari style playing, Lesh walking like jimmy garrison and the devils laying down a western swing thing. Pulpit vocal, generous between verse solo, mind shredding intensity on the build and accented battering ram charges of the Dead's signature roast of breezily equitable yet hauntingly psychedelic americana infusion. Welnik fanning, extra innings scorcher!!! mind reading jam

Weir on acoustic and spinning wistful NorCal jazzy blues, thoughtful chorus-laden jerry, lots of yummy bongo and cymbal garnish. Casually seamless, beautifully choreographed. Ace version
