Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Greek Theater

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

Rich Stadium

Intense powerful, chugging, heavy, ecstatic and levitating, stormy rave up of a summer '89 NFA. Iconic, powerful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkY6ZOx411g
Deal
July 19, 1989
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

no words can describe this deal, there's just a synergy, a lava to it!!!!!! Must listen. THIS WILL literally make you jump for joy, if you need it, they just go for it and pull out all the stops on this Deal and it's mind-numbingly furious version, indeed.

Selland Arena

Positively delicious Scarlet. Everyone dialed in. Sheesh. Look out for the soloing and jamming.
