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

happy 50th to this total Frank Gehry of a version, an accomplishment of staggering proportions, love how this one blends D modal shenanigans in and out of firey jazz and icy tender reflection.

really wild tones and feelings from all on this palatial frozen bird. Gliding symmetrical vibrational pools of implied anguish

Saratoga Performing Arts Center

the kind of show that's so iconic lemiuex wouldn't dare go near it. Textbook GD magic.
