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

Ferocious!!!!! So relentless and driving, just impeccable 72 PITB honey-lavender swirl surprise!! Keith is really doing some awesome shit on this, bringing a subtle shade of early New Orleans stride to this pitb, as well as psychedelic wah wah vibes. The arc of the jam is just perfect, they were on the level. the return is heavy af

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Huntington Civic Center

Towering "shoes on her toes" version of scarlet fire, fluid and charged with kinetic energy, very natural sounding comping and soloing, all around just pristine i would say!!!! Killing killing killing, this 78 first set is.
