Stick with this version, from the master tape:

And I posted an It's Late fix for that version on page 2.

Thanks Bob! I downloaded that gig at that moment, I thought this one was a kind of improvement

There are indeed some slight differences.

This source is actually two different masters playing at once as a matrix, both taped by the same taper. See the story here:

I just compared Best Friend from both copies. On the original copy the song begins as mono, as one of the tapes is being flipped. At :03, one of the sources kicks back in and it's a sudden edit in the right channel. On the bootleg this has been smoothed out, as there is a fade in back into stereo a couple seconds later. Perhaps there are other tape flips that have similar treatment.

They've also EQ'd it to add a bit more top end.

So sure, it's different and worth a listen, but it's not a "newly found tape" as it was marketed to be.
