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

Yeah, I agree mightaswell, thanks for submitting these hot tracks. This '82 show is bonkers from start to close and bringing the goods with C->R expansively and freely

Notable for I Need a Miracle--> a doubletime rousing Bertha to close set 1. Look out for Phil and the Devils down the line jamming

Flaming and really intriguing version here. Kind of giving me an itch for other stagger lees.

Coming out of some technical difficulties with a hot and rowdy On the Road Again hearkening back to the cowboy days
