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

first one with the two-keyboard lineup and it shoots for the stars!!! L train subway fare to myrtle-wyckoff rolling shag 'n' hash, just vibin. Every msg run but almost especially from the 90's has intrigue, the shows from this year alone, mind-boggling amount of good stuff
