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

The Youtube is the must for this gig - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFZHrDe-2K8 . Acknowledging that this is a "warm-up" show of sorts considering that it's in Jersey and they had a five-night run in NYC after it. Even so, there's lots of glorious shit in it like a red-hot Mississippi, scarlet fire, morning dew, row jimmy and music never stopped, so i'll quit my moaning now.
