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

exquisite, reminded me of the Jai-Alai fronton and other fresh versions . So lip-smackingly brilliantly seasoned, and searing.

trades the wistfulness of other versions of the year for something more in yer face, assertive!!! Dont miss it

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

excellent hard rocking version of this, primo chops and stuff. the band doesn't give a care and it's got a flying breakneck ease, a casual groove about it even though it's bone crunchingly heavy. Makes you sentimental
