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

Best prelude i've ever freakin' heard, and that's a guarantee! This playing is just so refined, tender and free. Part 1 is fire. And let it grow is a massive tornado version, Jerry fireworks abound, and then the guys even start improvising in a PITB-esque manner into china doll. This summer '74 show is aces back to back

Can't think of a better set 2 closer than a nice and fried and alive UJB
