Opens set one, strident and tightrope treading!! After-hours vibe of demolished dystopia, PIcasso moon always gives way to tight soloing and melts

surprised this was omitted-delivery is good, jam is very broad and palatial, seascapes of frozen transpacific bridges. Rings and spires of dankness

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Major version. The Dead on a hot night do "slip" into a rather nasty "space-yer-face" versh of the second one in the trilogy. Incredible stuff, everybody locking into the moment is a treasure. Franklin's is a lovely ray of westward orange waking after a deliriously tempting yet frightful daydream, surfin' bliss. The Help on ain't no slouch either. Franklin's is so joyous and giving in its pleasure, but also warns against excess!! this version rules, frantic prairies of lawless exploration and battles
