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

Victim Or The Crime
March 28, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

Exemplary haunted house rager with deathly walls of plink, watch the heads in the front rows shuddering still with awkward fright at this twilight banger. desolation row teleprompter levels of lyrical density though they're really not very good, compare it to black throated wind or sailor saint and see. Stargazing avant screaming jams on this no prisoners 94 set, garcia lets flow euphorically tortured spirals of texture, Lesh's notes are pitch perfect and devils brew is fascinating. Altogether this one packs a punch.
