Not the very best, but all of the Europe '72 versions deserve to be on here...

Definitely deserves more than two votes! I think a lot of E72 gets lost in the shuffle because the most well-known shows of the tour get the lion's share of the attention, when in reality the entire tour is stellar.

This one has a nice swing to it.

One of the better, tighter two drummers versions I've heard!

quinn_76 is right that Terrapin offers less opportunity for differentiation from one version to the next. Having said that, this version is my favourite by a fairly significant margin. "Goldilocks" tempo, well-sung, well-played, tight, dynamic, powerful, ethereal.

Usually not a fan of the slower post-hiatus versions, but this one is cooking!
