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

Heady version comin' out of an actually quite incisive, puncturingly atonal Seastones with a nice false start before a rippin' LL

Prowling hyena of a hypnotically groovy acid jazz 74 Pitb, pinnacle of dead culturally milestonic version!

So funky i wouldn't have been surprised if Jerry started yelpin' like James Brown. Godchauxs shine too on this early standalone stunner.
