As all my obsessive collecting of live and all other NMA material, there is only one live version available, and that is a crying shame that this song is not a staple for the live shows. Though, all the other live staples are GREAT, this song should be in the midst of them all . I mean, 225, here comes the war, is this song not as great as the rest of them?
@guyphawkes In the times I saw them they did only play BNW2 once. I think it was at Brixton Academy - 1988? I remember Justin making a comment about it being the eve of the Tory party conference in Blackpool and then playing it. It sticks in my mind as I'd seen them many times and it was really great to hear it live. I have some vague recollection about them not playing a certain song live because of someone who died... can't recall the details, but may be this song - or may just be rumour.
Thanks a lot for this clip, its magic to hear it again... brings me back to the mid 80's, like both versions but I prefer the acoustic one. Thanks again...
Ooh. One dislike there. Has someone let Thatch near a PC?

It sure is, and me too I'm a little tired of 225 by now, would love them to switch that for BNW in their sets!
