Anyone know a source for the extended version of this performance with the Dubliners? The short version has a verses whereas the longer has an extended break in the middle with bass, drums and percussion.

You can also download it from iTunes as part of the "Jack's Heroes EP" for the princely sum of 99p (in the UK at least).

Hm, it is one of the "not on the remasters/box set" tracks, i should probably hit the ebay and grab a copy. 'Cause it's, like, so essential.
