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

Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Perfect, thoughtful, volcanic, placid, all of the above. Melty goopy and funky. Tells a story in sound painting. I really like this song... has that LLR, let it grow uber earnest Barlow thing in spades. The theatrics on this splendid version take Indy to giddy new heavens, the floor loses it for jerry, but then when don't they. Shout out to weir for a triple shot of great jams

hard edged and sartorially minded, silk lapels and starched cuffs. Phil is having a field day, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXO5TqfWf6s
