All in all it was increased from 4 to 9 minutes and it was one of the highlights of the Live At Budokan CD's

But if they were to alter a great song of theirs you really love, would you appreciate it better than to hear the original version?

What sort of a performance do you prefer in a live show?

1. Do you want the band/artist to stick to what they did on their albums without any substantial change cause you shouldn't mess with what is already good/excellent/perfect?

2. Or do you want improvisations, jam sessions and alternative versions of the familiar songs?

Give examples.
