This one has guts and a real slow percussive groove. Love it.

Deal
Great show, not too well documented around these parts. Deal is hot and gutsy, from a very good first set.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Listen to the end of this sweet LL>Supp and tell me it shouldn't be in the top ten versions. And not a single mention here! Crazy!

You can hear the swagger in their mutterings before they play. And the performance bears that out. Sure, smooth, and effortless.
