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

3 votes?! This one is a wet rembrandt... nothing showy about it, layered masters. My god that lick before "wind in the willows" then a beautiful elegant rainforest jam no transition... Lesh is uber activated. love the mid 80's, this is another beast altogether, everyoine's flying and on the cusp of their next great sound!

even though it was boilerplate by the later years, Come on man they love playing this one, it's so tasty!!!! combines chaw man big bluesy time with colombian-fueled angst pop. Great barlow piece to go with it... "'Cause you're a sweet little softcore pretender Somehow, babe, it got as hot as it gets With her black leather and gold spike suspenders And your chain, your black whip and pets. Well we know you're the reincarnation Of the infamous Catherine the Great" sexy stuff!!! This one is precision and power.

Brimming with physicality and ebullient shine. Hand to god there are tears in my eyes at how beautiful lesh's lines under jerry's screaming tiger lead work HARD HAT HOMETOWN
