Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Greek Theater

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

Meadowlands Arena

Firey and strident, yet very free and experimental full of Midi interplay and freakish pranksterness

Everybody's puttting everything into this. Must-listen.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 16, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

JG's lead work on this inspired 80's Mississippi is chiming, rambunctious, agile, and light-drenched, good reminder of why he's one of the best to ever pick up a six-string.
Picasso Moon

Meadowlands Arena

Wow, this picasso moon is popping, driving, and fully on-point all the way through, roaring and fun.
The Wheel

Frost Amphitheatre

fun preceding jam with brooding lyrical guitar lines
