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

great 73 ds. goes thru passages resembling the meat-and-potatoes of the hard rock of the time, frisky, scuttling and slinky fusion, and space pranks. Heads right into a nice slow he's gone also

Nassau Coliseum

cresting the surface of a violet lake with respectful care but superhuman agility. wispy and austere, this stuff is like a plateau of dusky apricot nimbus on a dewy paddock.
