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

Yet another hot Stagger lee. Just some dusty crusty old saloon tale, done with aplomb.

dig the Dead's easygoing no-nonsense arrangement of it, they sound crystalline and just great, Weir putting some muscle into this.
Just A Little Light

Really good stuff, i'd say. Kind of on the schmaltzier side of the 80's, but if that never bothered you in the first place, then dive in to this version of Just a Little Light.
