7 songs and just shy of 2 hours in length, King Sunny and his band do not sit still for one single second (except when Ade counts out the opening of a new tune - "1, 2, 3, 4..."). Though still recognizably juju music (guitar based mix of American pop and African polyrhythms), Ade doesn't dominate the show and meshes perfectly with fantastic organ work and the seemingly hundreds of percussionists. Solid and insistent grooves that never get tired and never devolve into bad jam band wankery. Seeing this live must be crazy good
