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

Brings the god damn good ole goods with resplendently bright meadows of jangle pop mountain

Beautiful stand alone velvet dark star from the first run of the year. Dunes of knowledge in lungs filling, dancing sparking and conspiring to puff out cosmic subs. Circles of courtyard shadings. for me it is these dissonant freakout sections where they truly embrace the avant-garde and unlock a whole new multiplicity of feelings from the song-driven stuff

try this 18-song first set on for size!! Always love this tremendous one, listen to how they snap on this one, Kreutzman coming into his own as a great.

Massive, lovely organ from mckernan, crawling for respite and glimmers in the tunnel with heavy angelically lumberingly jazzy backing
