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

check the date, many michelin star jacks from these years, this one kicks off the show with marvel production values and hurricane lesh screwballing with acrobatic jerry lead work. Hot mass gig for the celtics game, u already know 10/1/94, 5/7/77, et al.

Heavy snarling tempo, crevices of a shattered ego's justification for crying. Transcendent jer bear sermon.

this one doesn't miss, killing and emphatic!
Don't Need Love

Starlight Theater

Nice loping mammoth eyesie melt. Primal and swelling yet expansively chill. Jazzy rhodes exploration into this heartthrob school dance diatribe.
