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

Jesus Christ, This show is absolutely bonkers. Magical jamming all the way through it, including on this incendiary, very heavy and lurching, angry Viola Lee. This kind of thing is what i think of in reference to this band's "Primal" phase, even though it's technically just after the recording of Workingman's dead.

Nourishing, rosy-cheeked brave and pummeling stuff.
