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

The Other One
March 31, 1973
War Memorial

magnificent sequence cresting between the states of foggy memory and visceral unforgettable nowness with a magical electric bluegrass ease. Total shredfest, punchy cratering and amazingly tight- a scary roller coaster puddles beautifully into concert hall shenanigans.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Nassau Coliseum
