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

exquisite version, quite slow, really nice starlight jam, soft almost tender turtle jam, and a brief but magnificent steve reich-ish outro jam. beautiful stuff straight from the storyteller
