Side 1 but if side 2 would have been on side 1 I would have probably picked that, only listened to both sides without stopping 3 times and all the other times I usually stop it almost at the end of side 1 so I am much more familiar with that side. I should just listen to the second side a couple of times to really listen to it.

For me the condensed version, on BURSTING OUT! |
1) That's like saying side one essentially. But with a less inventive bass player.
2) The Madison Square Gardens version was better anyways...

Side two seems a little incohesive to me, almost as if they just slapped a few riffs together. |
That sounds...really awesome when you put it like that actually.

Side one. Side two is good too, but all that noisy nonsense at the beginning feels like filler to me.

Well I like the whole thing myself. It was and is one continuous piece of music. The technology of the time required they split it up into two halves.

Sorry, I was a bit harsh before. I don't mind the album that much, it's just I feel it's 10 minutes of superb music which is then repeated with variations for a little too long

The whole of side 1 sounds like 20 minutes of superb music. But I think the best 5 minutes of prog history is on side 2. The edit below
