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

Epochal with black diamond melt from a groovy casual cc rider... jericho said it. The stuff of legend for hornsby era lovers.

jet fueled antics, Lesh takes grip of the evening via plinkin drops of solid state racks of wirepickin' Alembic, plink yamaha stage, chorus weir.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9Z04tD8_rs nice matrix-y source, economical but very impactful mydland years east coast gig. Opens set 2 and like the bird song before it glimpses melodic but cavernously abstract space. Lesh lovers pizza and taffy backing, pan seared Garcia finish, spiralling The eleven-esque mid section, you'd want a 90's end jam where they halve the length of the chord changes resulting in a more yacht rock feel but this one gets half way there with some creative fillings in
