"Departed" is an interesting posthumous remix, but once again suffers for lack of vocals. Amsterdam is technically the worst version because they didn't play it proper, as unfortunately Melkweg cut their set short to make time for Whitehouse, much to Coil's chagrin; all we get is Thighpaulsandra playing a bit of synth in protest. Paris reigns champion because of all the musicians present. Jesi, while the shortest, has a lot of power and dynamism to it. John sings lyrics to "All the Pretty Little Horses" at London, and if only the quality was higher, then this could possibly be the best version.
