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

A found paradise of a mammoth '84 UJB, replete with D minor hellfire. Shining armor, stallions are gliding into some snow-trodden insanity

Brent Mydland, keyboard wizard and vocal titan.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Augusta Civic Center

Surging, clarion version of one of their best post-70's songs, a towering obelisk of swirly song.
Cold Rain and Snow

Augusta Civic Center

Great cold rain. Just majestic, perfectly pressing in all the right places in my sonic field. Jer's voice, and everyone in general sounds great in this show. People are saying it's shot/hoarse, which is true, but the force and inflection definitely make up for this, he's putting it out there tonight in Augusta maine, 84.

Inspired, lean and mean. Burning 80's cumberland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orRS84sOFPE
