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

Stunning video of this on YouTube, best quality I've seen of this era by far, even surpassing the New Year's Winterland video just in terms of "HD video" shit. It's a prime ribbed and hot Sugaree.

Charged up, confident, ripping looks like rain. Always love to hear this one done. Bobby's vocals, super on point.
