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

I just had to listen to this three times in a row - every decision made by the guys in this version feels like a tantric alignment. Top form in terms of the song itself, and just all the playing and vocals. It's icy and dreamy

Just awesome, Jer is on the edge, and there's something so odd but perfect about crazy fingers. The playing seriously goes the distance too.
