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

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

Sizzling with spirit, this titanic disco ball version glides with the ease of quebec bound herons. Gnarly stuff

Cameron Indoor Stadium

rocks. fucking. hard!!!!! Clip is the must
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 5, 1985
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Perfect melt, resplendently acrobatic lead work with gloriously fruitful lines, rhodes textures and a nice 'n easy backing of gently undulating funk. Revelatory to hear them take their time with it and shows that the surrounding gigs were a window of clarity

brent drives this one as a woodpeck bulldoze into the moons of Mars. Sparkplug rhythms
Box of Rain
March 19, 1990
Civic Center

Thick goopy and deeply meant, deluxe supreme
