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

Truckin' up to buffalo, mothafucka!!!! How have I never seen this...... Amazing. Jerry's voice is stunningly incredible today. Mickey and Brent are feisty, filling in with bombs a-plenty. dynamite version pretty interesting rhythm toward the end of the solo! Notable for Bobby "High 5" countin during the solo section - king of polyrhythmic emphasis and that kind of interlocking singing that keith richards craved in mick taylor - the weaving
