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

The grateful dead are late for their appointment and doing 90 down the bertha highway. This concert has some of their best post-coma music, and I believe best in general, it's hard to beat the last 2 Brent years in my opinion.

Famous show OTD in 90. That whole month was insane for them and comparable to April 72, December 73, or May 77. Jerry takes off on this speedy and clown-car tight Jack.
