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 this one... something of an innocent shooting star compared to the aurora borealis DS's of the 70's. killing stuff

getting re-aquainted with this big friendly giant eyesie... truly not in the same class as the other 100+ vote eyesies to me personally but nonetheless excellent... uber mellow and phil gets a lot of love. Massive coda!!!

Great one... super quiet focused and mysterious, slow. Yes indeed. Would love hot show recommendations for 79-80 mydland, its a fascinating couple of years as the high-charged 80s sound is gelling

first rate. Big phil bombing and watery chill aquarian improv

Love source provided, love the effortless pitb and ujb sandwich weaving slack through hayfields with dogs in the sideways wake of our frantic sojourn
