Agreed. And.... truth be told there are several songs Deen does far better than Arnel. Add Patiently and La Do Da to the list.
So, Don..... how's 'bout hookin' me up with the link to the boot of that show...?
EDIT:
And speaking of Patiently, I really like this particular vid of Deen singing it then the segue into Where Were You. Smitty's intro to WWY is this super complex barrage of triplets that completely leave the time signature for a few seconds and then roll back in. This particular vid shows how uncomfortable Deen is with it and Neal is standing right in front of the drum kit and Deen and Neal are making eye contact and Neal, just to fuck with Deen, makes Deen wait until Neal gives the que to fire into that intro and Ross and Jon are standing there like vultures just waiting for Deen to choke (which of course he doesn't) but you can feel the tension for poor Deen at that part of the song. It's hilarious. Watch the entire thing develop from 3:48 onward. It's good stuff.
