i've only ever heard the shorter version played live. and at a relatively quicker tempo. i'd love to get a good soppy long version one of these days. when i'm wallowing in veteran self pitty and nostalgia i like it to last

I was stunned when i heard this live on the December tour, as i've always loved this song and never thought i'd ever hear it in a live setting. It was a proper hairs-on-the-back-of-your-neck moment. Even after all this time and all these gigs the boys can still surprise me!

I remember the St pat's show in Brixton (1990?) OPENING with a stunning version of mathilda. It was quite shocking at the time, so unexpected was it.
