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

Big alabama greatest in red rocks. starts kind of wonky but they slide in and are rocking by mid-song. investigating some early 80's.

Giggly dancing. For the speed and the jamming, this might actually be the best disco dancing. definitely my favorite DOTS ev, a monumental 78 show.... growling, beware! More werewolf stuff!!!!!!!!!
