Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Definitive by a country mile. Incredible fast weaving interplay during Supplication, and they nail the Lazy Lightning. Perfection.

This deserved to be on DP3, a gem that’s up there with the best of the 77/78 versions.

You diagnosed me man! I think the terrible cut where the band is really getting going killed my mood completely, on top of that I think I didn’t really get the groove the first couple of listens. But this is a top shelf eyes. Much more appreciation for the opening jam and first post chorus solo now.
