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

mellow ambient intro, Branford adds layers of robustly gilded excellence to this twilight LA set creepin' on the come up!! Excellent welnick tones and ravishing buffet of devils. Yet another cut played with renewed desperation and urgency in this penultimate year of the grateful dead
