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

zany choreographed and puddly, magnificent, rippling cresting tides that eddy and soar with the plundering of rife emotions to be cast into eternal youth, the flame of fountains.

this space is getting habanero, love the roar of this legendary AUD, bendy wispy hymnal memory making.

Early in set 1, loose and conversational. Aromatic and pinchingly textural with Yorick posturing and graceful subway film set faux santal 33 posings. Excellent.

Total gas flame, similar to the smokeshow version in between dancin in the streets and good lovin at harpur 70.
