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

Mega portion of tube-frying raw power--cleansing sermonic type 2 opener

closes acoustic and electric sets, each is a visceral epigram summarizing in such a simple sweep the mindset born that generations would continue to inherit.

freaky version, love it! Solo finds all the little spaces and commas that you didnt know existed within this deceptively simple gd classic.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Nassau Coliseum

this one's a resplendent mural of a lifetime of rebel voyages. Pogfish from beginning to end, needs a lot more votes, jam is at 73/74 levels of group mesh
