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

Seems like an on night!!! focused and firey jams. By the way kevin tobin and christopher hazard's edits on youtube have become my main source for shows

only done 6 times with this lineup, yet surely every one destroyed. Fireworks to see us through to smile smile smile airhead land. Serious about hauling ass through soul chops. Deer creek magic, inhaler on hold.

another cut from this 1st set where Hornsby names the game, filling in robustly and delightfully. Rest of the band is kind of a blur of fog and sound. Chef's kiss theatrics on lydian jam, phil ascends and layers of woozy, rambunctiously chaotic plink abound in Rosebud woodshedding.
