Yo...Yes it is, straight from the official release. <br />Your question reminded me that I didn't update this post with that release!

It's comparable in quality to the previous audience tape, but I wouldn't call it an improvement - it's much tinnier, like it was recorded over a phone, though there's less audience noise.

Who sang it? What the heck was it? Google some of the lyrics (as heard) and all you get are references to this one performance.
