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

Soooooo so good. A fascinating, and deeply enhancing part of the show. Will definitely be bumping more late 78 gigs to hear Hamza el-Din and his merry band.

Super shredding, on the level, everyone is on the same broad horizontal plane of vibes

I do love those multi-camera pro shot shows. But as long as there's a soundboard in the soundtrack, even a terrible video is great for me. I just really wish i could have actually gone to a dead show. And wow, the guys are flying on this Minglewood. Epic shit.
