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

it's a TJ from may '77, you know it's fire. Billy 'n' Mickey aren't slacking off on this.

thanks for the tales somewhere and grendel. You can truly feel the power of that 13-year gap in this version, it's just electric and i'm sure that the whole place was just a puddle of crying. Of course it was at the mothership, that legendary spot.

really really really nice peggy-o. Check the youtube to see jerry defiantly overcoming his hands which are shaking like a motherfucker to deliver some clear, tight and brilliant soloing
