Moonchild

Educated Fool
As we're getting near the end of the History era, I have question for all you wonderful people:

In one of the docs (the ME DVD maybe), the band talk about the keyboard intro to Moonchild. H wrote it, but couldn't get the rest of the band to understand exactly how it goes. He says the version that's on the SSOASS album is good, but it's not quite what he had in mind.

On the SBIT tour, H played that intro on guitar with a delay that gave it a slight backbeat, it had a bit more of a groove where the recorded keyboard intro had more of a pounding/drive to it. I much preferred hearing the SBIT version and wondered if it was what H originally intended.

Your thoughts?
 
I rather enjoy the SBIT version, and you are right it does have a pounding backbeat and groove. I'm pretty stuck on the original and the sort of spacey/fantasy sort of mood it creates. Having said that I remember being at the cinema seeing SBIT and the part with the plane taking off and that track playing in the background was really great!
