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

Bustin' out this Aoxomoxa track. Sounds great.

yeah, Keith is a beast, Jerry's bringing the goods on this version too. Hose 'em down after some spicy Texas blues like this.

Gorgeous stuff here. The thoughtful, rich, colorful ensemble playing from everybody just coagulates perfectly into a mural. Love this version of friend of the devil.
