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

primo, feels like a whispered bookend reflection approaching the speediness of raw 60s versions, Man they eat this up a deafeningly powerful crescendo, amazing version

super great gig from their final tour, whole rube goldberg machine is really going and the material is so tight, weir and garcia vocals are in astonishing late form, full to the brim with spirit
Ramble On Rose
