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

devastating, just like the high time, the smallest gestures, a Keith run here, a phil swoop there, will catapult the whole thing in another direction, they are insanely locked in to each other

insanely good

"Face-stealing" does not say enough about this show. slower than most and almost fire on the mountain reggae-esque. this show is unbelievably good and LONG. it is a feast for the senses that's worth chunking out some deadicated time for.
