I looked through all of my recordings and couldn't find it.
Maybe someone has a more complete collection. They do perform
it, though, so the best thing (and a good thing in its own right)
would be to catch them when they come through your town (they tour
a lot, and broadly) and ask. (The last album of theirs that I picked
up had an interesting version of "Nigun Atik")

Only caveat--bring ear plugs. They tend to play loud these days.
