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

curious selection, impish accompaniment deep in 90's mythology. Awesome stuff..... perfect balm for a roiling sea of blood.

another signed picture perfect first set. Accordion, breezy refined scottish or irish folk texture, dancing airborne Jerry throughout each cut tonite.
