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

Just gave another listen to this absolutely incredible jazzy Playin', certainly in my top 5 of all time. Absolute must-listen. Put it on right now.

dead is such a boy's club, and it's annoying. Make some room for the rest of us. Anyway, it's quite the red hot beat it.

Fat, mean, jazzy outrageous Caution craziness. Essential for fans of 60's Dead, premium example of free psych!
Truckin'

Wow. Just wow. Exemplary poker-hot truckin', along with me and my uncle, showing these francophones what some root-tootin 12-gauge shootin' Good Ole Grateful is all about.
