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

Omg, how many times did the Dead play at Winterland ? It's for all intents and purposes, their home base of this decade, I would argue. Amazing, tight and classic Bertha kicking off this gig - always a fun one to time travel. It was on this day 41 years ago.

What an insane fall 89 concert this is!! Seriously--- a treat. everything is clicking and thrashing, burning on this. Unforgettable inspired ending to the show.
