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

Sullivan Stadium

heady rarities abound. For one thing, Jerry interacts with the crowd with a cheerful "how y'all doin?". Then we open set 1 with a firebrand PITB. Big stuff at this show man. love this era a whole lot.

Bringing the goods. Definitely one of those late 70's shows where keith is so fucked up he cant tell his right hand from his left. Not much good playing from him tonight
