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

Big time New Year's dew. Everyone is contributing to a gorgeous atmosphere and Jerry is feeling this rendition.

Beautiful stand-alone Scarlet. The wind in the willows cries our forever siren song, trying to peer at the sun through our rose-tinted refracting lens just to see any sort of significance

This is meaty discs thrown 'cross a pool by twilight.
