Cosy. Right, to my ears, it's a sensitive performance along the lines of the original. There are three distractions fogging my brain. Tonally I'd like to hear a tiny bit more top and mixwise I'd bring the lead guitar slightly further forward. Also, in the third measure of each verse the original run-up is minor and in this version it's major. Otherwise, listening past those perceptions, it's there, as I hear it.
Obviously you were wearing red socks but otherwise, as with Kon-Tiki, I have no idea what gear was used. But it doesn't matter to me. My ears are what define 'that sound'!
(I remember backing you doing it live at Warwick some years ago. You haven't lost your touch!)
