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

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Insane version of TO1 and surely one of the best you will find from the 90's, in no small part because JG finally has a true soloist foil in one of jazz's most exploratory and best improvisers, and they have one of the best damn backing bands ever in the GD right there all the way.
