Definately Birmingham!
5.42 instead of the usual 5.14 min...
Solo is 30 seconds longer!
It's the best HFB ever!
Well, as I have not heard every performance of HFB, it's impossible to say. Birmingham is very good, but length is immaterial - it's the general performance that counts. I like the Bournemouth version a lot - MK sings a particular section (shells for the twelve and razor wire....) with a very rough-sounding accent, which suits the song very well. I remember the Dublin version, which I attended, being pretty amazing, but until the recording materialises.......who knows?
