This review is from: Welcome Back My Friends (Audio CD)

The facelift is primarily "Tarkus-Aquatarkus," which is the best version of that suite. Faster, frenetically brilliant, and fun. The "Aquatarkus" improvisation is extended and wild and eerie; the unhurried stuff by Lake, including "Epitaph," is deeper and plaintive. "Piano Improvisations" track is way fun too, and Keith also shines in the "Take a Pebble" interludes of piano playing. Otherwise, the rest of the set is lousy compared w/ the studio realeases.
