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

love me a good TJ and this one checks the boxes! this one is loose and limber, there is a noticeable increase in intensity by verse 2, end solo is soaring, full of chromatic enclosures from jerry and phil, (brent hits the last G early) crowd loves it, easy vote
