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

Locked in and groovy. Jerry is at the height, or should we say the lowest point of his lost years and it's not pretty. But still they sound great and his solo is tasty af

epic version. I can already see the acid freaks wailing in existential despair during the peaks of space. Mega heady. So good

2nd set craziness, the dead are hot hot hot tonight..... Endless midi terrapin into a (rare? correct me, heads) 90's MLB. From chill to frantic

sensational version of Terrapin. Every transition feels like a curtain falling to reveal a new, more emotionally charged and turbulent layer, even though i've heard this song dozens of times. It's just really hitting tonight, Jerry's vocals are killing me dude, come on. How can you resist that man's passion. Jam is insanely heavy
