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 Music Never Stopped

Boston Garden

The jam builds and builds, off the meters by the end. Important TMNS!

big river's don't get much better than this, rockabilly power.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Happy birthday Billy version, and it's a nail-biter. The solo goes the distance, Jerry starts getting crazy, Devils pounding away too, thrilling stuff. Then the rio grandioh coda pushes this Mississippi to "there" territory. Chills!
New Minglewood Blues

Boston Garden

That opening cornell one is hot but so is this shit. Lion's den growl version.

Yet another monster Peggy can't miss this one.
