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

Really wild one, skips the usual dorian shenanigans and heads straight for chromatically-motivated angst. Fade out shows some sick comping.

Crowd in search of a mega let it grow or bird song (there you go, one the next night) is super good sports for a sparkling unreleased Foolish the rest of the night will amply reward them this crazy fingers is super tight and they let it rip, symphonic almondjoy tears

facts, many from these years are beautiful. Lesh and jerry ventriloquist netflix special intro. both are lapping up this show musically, Jer turning on cowboy chops. This one swirls and roars with a glacial ease akin to the offbeat soothing nature of the indie pop of the years to come.
