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

Ship of Fools

Hartford Civic Center

Bracing gust of sludgy icicles of pathos... Another intrinsically momentous and starkly emotional jerry number that aged like wine. Solo howls with catharsis

kicks off a mammothhh set 2 wow.. Looking forward to this on the train.. Squishy and resplendent, carefree breeze, melodic babbling brook of fun chordal weaving

crystal ball weeper, yet another upvoted sinewy Peggy with surefire tiger work. Mind crushingly gorgeous peak with a screaming descending lick at 4:54. Huge first set needs more votes

brent's mic is out but nonetheless ferocious from the ultimate era for this barnstormer lesh kiss-off!!! Trippin on pearly stardust thru the house-shaking rickety gas station grid tied and concrete churned night

Dewy-eyed, ascendant, Jer pickin' his consciousness to shreds for assembled congregations of espers. Swooshy frequencies and nice n slow.
