The Without A Net version. Listen to it with good headphones and you will truly appreciate how the drummers could use the venue as another instrument.
Bird Song

Great Western LA Forum

People are afraid to vote for the versions on the contemporary compilation releases. But I think the people who made them knew what they were doing.
