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

Deal
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

meat thrashing, skull punk folding chair smashing Mr. McMahon Fuck you mr benson Deal. Hold onto your hard hats starting around 5 minutes ish, staggering segment of excellently activated GD on full volcanic blast with kreutzmann shuffle fanning, never misses getting a nanosecond ahead of the beat in that tastiest of searching ways, phil bombs did i say? Wish i could listen to this first set on vinyl, exquisite

Tear jerker... knock it out of the park!!!!!
Bird Song
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

captain kirk mid 80's bird, multi-dimensionally high octane one!!! Starts speedy and assured with killing solos like the rest of the first set, then drops into space and kicks off a jerry triple
Ain't Superstitious (Meet Me on the Bottom)
June 28, 1985
Hershey Park Stadium

This one finds its footing and boom rocket fuel for mars... Absolutely shredding. Good ole trouble ahead blues with swirling brent and percolating dark roast.
Ramble On Rose
