I'm giviing I'm Set Free a sympathy vote. I just think its one of the most under-rated VU songs. One of those songs that you hear for years but don't really listen to (buried in there amongst all the more obvious classics) and then suddenly discover. Its now one of my favorites, esp the lve versions when I think Lou does some of his best, most emotional singing.

So there.

always loved the guitar/ drum part in the middle of I'm Set Free

Gotta go against the grain here as "I'm Set Free" is one of my all time favourite songs.

Yeah, me too. Additionally, it's one of the few instances where the closet mix is better than the Valentin one (to me, at least).
