One of the cooler versions I've heard, the tempo is way different than any other version I've heard. Worth a listen!

What a cool version. The jam at 10:00 is one of the more exploratory ones I've heard. Way to nail it first time out boys!

The only complete version with Alhambra which is a masterpiece, why they only played it once baffles me????
