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

Has some muscle!!!! Still though, it doesn't compare to the famous Tiny tim and pigpen rap in the scarlet fire transition at the fillmore west from 68.
