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

Dancin' in the Streets

beautiful, exemplary Disco dancing, Jerrt going the distance once again, his crazy fingers getting a workout at this freaking awesome show that was memorialized, some of it anyhow, on DP29.
Ramble On Rose

Fox Theatre

One of the best ones ever, dizzyingly powerful solo and all the vocals as well. something about this version is addicting like a tooth worm too! // 3rd time ive come back to edit this just to say, if there's a better Ramble idk it. the solo is simply jerry at his finest, that moan at 5:42 is haunting and the last build up and verse is like a gust of arctic sun
