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

Strong. Carries the heft of where the evening is going with dueful service.

Wow, baroque flow, worlds within the devils weave alone, checkered flag fireworks, dripping in squishy hammond and midi and street corner chaw

Rager, devils late for work and everyone focused and chiseled.

like many versions of the built to last cuts, this one is essential brent mythology

primal and unhinged (compared to the pleasant skyline on a clear shoreline's breezy view from yer sandy cove that other late brent versions bring up) Extremely tight and festooned with buffet of fun features
