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

Fired up from the get go, importantly mighty feelings on this version. this show shares several banging selections with RFK on the 14th. of course it's fucking tight. howling with frigid pain, discomfort in face stealing bliss with the other wooks on lot.

Wow... will surely unlock something in fans of the material, mystical dervish levitation on this touching, synthy and hot row. Bugle calls for the draft of melodious kingsly song.

Volcanic!!! Lots of spirit and flashing eye-locking across the evacuation
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 16, 1989
The Mecca

sunkissed gossamer shimmering cherubic Scarlet fire, sensational Mydland rhapsodizing, icy percussion textures and winking flow. Transition is great stuff, not a mammoth. Picture perfect fire, Jerry at the stern, instigating a scrumptious arsenal of techniques of jam, others following the momentums closely.

inspired closer, symbolic of the message of the dead when they would pander to Americana so overtly, knockin on heaven's door and satisfaction come to mind.
