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

There is such a naturally waterfalling, very easy flow to this 2nd-set playing, everything seems so perfectly arrived at and performed every time, never too quickly, even though we get several themes around 25 minutes of music altogether incl a truckin' I mean everyone is stacked, ripped, dressed to the nines on this summer date. They seem like they're just grabbing things out of thin air as they bound down the forest path, invigorated by rainbow.

devastating! The whole thing spirals upward, prime heater version explaining the appeal of taking songs for walks like doggies in the park when in concert. this and high time really got to the next level when re-done - not to speak of dire wolf which always had the quality of a country and western standard
