Y'see, i like that version of bright eyes but probably more for the fact of the context in which it was played.
You've got these 3 chaotic gigs where they all get nosebleeds after each night and they smash up all their instruments on the final night yet they put bright eyes in the set, there's a poignancy to it i can't explain.
Though there is a great version he did for the 2003 glastonbury interview.

Please, he prayed, now -
A gray disk, the colour of Chiba sky.
Now -
Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -
And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his country, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity.
Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
