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

Huey Lewis adds harp effectively standing in for the late Pigpen. only 7 versions from the 90's, awesomely badass

Heavy. Mythos is triple decker thick. Creative devils and lesh with searing shuffle joy. Cogs grinding in poetic perfection to a rousing bluesy medley soaked in mollasses.

positively soaring!!! Sunbeaming with uncompromising tunnel marathon juju. Casually heavy, snarling brisk and graceful. Inspired energy. Exceptionally great version, top notch

yess, real nice and inspired stuff here. accompaniment starts tentative and deeeep in midi. Lots of nooks and crannies even before the expansive helicopter ride jam near 9mins which fearlessly stirs the strings of your stupid little puppets. look out for atonal jazzy weir and plush symphonic synth work, steel pitch bend fx jerry and polyrhythmic gumbo stash.
