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

Estimated Prophet

Deer Creek Music Center

sprawling, effervescent, columnar. The blend of all the icy bralove tone makes for a devastating effect especially when the devils file the paperwork and everything is on schedule and really locked in fundamentally. The sparks coming off it with enough imagination in the tank for lulls and surges of frequency from all, especially rosebud at the stern.

welcome to this deliriously hyperwarped month. Shimmering with radial possibility. This jack is a weaving, beautiful tryst with leather outlaw broadway energy.

Frost Amphitheatre

so awesome. Language from jerry reminiscent of "Slipknot" has been noted for this version and I agree, lots of serpentine weird shit happening, very heavy, yet acrobatic!!!
Spanish Jam

Marin County Veterans Auditorium

serious and demanding, absolutely love it. Chamber dead
