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

ponderous, resonant, regretful but hope-inducing blistering pink sunset of a 73 dew

breathtaking, sweetend out, just insane!!! They sound incredible at the legendary gig from the year of marathons, in the eye of the first half of the 70s, 73.

Turbo-charged, buoyant set-opening Jimmy, jg and co. mean it on vocals, phil n keith swaying the night away. Kreutzmann might be mvp, it's so crispy i nearly had to ice my shoulder
