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

seven-headed serpent unleashed at colgate at the end of set 1, off the grid bombing jams. raw uncut produce. Who said jerry only does "clean tones", listen!!!

after the post-time dream of Sunrise's lyrics, we get Noah Lewis's boozy, horny jug band rave-up which has about as much subtlety as a bulldozer in the middle of the night! Hot NMB though

super nice sunrise, a bright glare of jamminess. Donna's intonation and chops are on. Check this one, and please, check out donna godchaux's bizarre, imagist postmodern and just wonderful lyric.
