Lyrically foggy but played with intensity and clarity. Dreamy guitars and powerful synth swells mixed with 84 darkness and haze. very cool.

Even through the murky recording you can hear how delicate, powerful and trippy this version is. Great jam into drums

My go-to version. Practically flawless, effortlessly gorgeous and the outro jam into The Other One is sublime. A+

I've come back to this version many times and it never disappoints. Crazy underrated, probably bc this show is AUD only. The crescendo of the final solo is phenomenal!
