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

Stretching out on scarlet fire at the beginning of a very very nice 2nd set in Madison, WI (the dead love wisconsin, it's a fact)

Great, great, great, great, great. Jerry is brave and valiant in this. And yeah, Vince is really great on this. and bob's midi. Bob weir is simply a master of guitar tone, you focus in on his parts at any given time in a roaring jam and just purely on the level of his instrument itself, the damn thing always sounds so good. Crunchy and soothing at the same time. And he knows how to flow through inter-chord melodies in his sleep. This ujb is another weir rhythm masterclass
