I thought seriously about including this version. Fine with me, and a good
counterpoint to the LEEDS version.

I would say Woodstock, except that they didn't perform Overture there. Add
to that the dissatisfaction of the band for that performance. What I want is
the best live version they have (and I'm quite sure that every version was
taped from the `69 tour). Perhaps one of the Opera House perfomances. They
should sound great.
