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

nastiness on this glammed-up LL (not to be confused with lazy lightnin') In a "pre-Mars Hotel" version that may as well be some J. Geils Band or Boz Scaggs, or maybe some bruce or elton?? ;;) Send it!!!
