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

Glistening, ripe, earnest, alive uncle john. the dead anthem in many ways. Though a tribute to john cohen of the new lost city ramblers, it is just as easy to imagine Robert Hunter writing this about jerry garcia himself

highlight of this first set??? 11 minutes of sharp, blazing LL->S, has quite the build. If you need an under the radar show try this one.
