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

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Really really nice full WRS. In a nice contrast to some which really blow your face off, this has more of a beguiling and rippling effect on your imagination with less blunt force and more interplay.

Let there be Box of Rain to ease the pain, love to see you through, and songs to Phil the air. Happy birthday to PL
Ripple
Oct. 31, 1980
Radio City Music Hall

This version of ripple i return to as an emotional salve, a balsam soak. Hunter's lyric for this one is a hymn, a guidebook to how to live a curious life. It's a song about magic, knowing that physical reality ain't the only area that the world has
