It seems that most prefer the second part of this song but I think that part one is quite possibly the greatest song that has ever been produced. Choose your fave.

Part 2 is just brilliant for me, so that's my choice. Part 1 is too disjointed. I don't know part 3. Part 4 is also great. And Level 5, which once I read was suposed to be part 5 is also wonderful.

Love pt 1 but pt 2 got my vote...especially if we're talking about the version on USA or the other '73/'74 live versions which are just so much more powerful than the studio version.

I need to listen to some of those live versions again... as far as I remember I liked the studio version better mainly because this is perhaps the song in which the duo of Bruford and Muir works the absolute best genious.

Part 1 hands down for me.

The studio version is very cool too but in a different way for me. There's more delicate interplay between BB and Muir (as you mentioned) and Wetton's bass (which is very clean and smooth). Even Fripp & Cross are playing in quite a restrained fashion...seems like everyone is really paying attention to each other and purposely not jumping on top but playing as a team. The USA and other live versions are just totally everyone turned up to 11 and bashing each other for instrumental supremacy like a sonic war. Wetton's fuzz bass is just plain nasty and RF is playing in the heavy metal language that lead to the heaviness of Red.
The studio version is like a swirling summer breeze where the live versions are like a stage 4 hurricane
