Ha! I just wanted to write the exact same thing except less accurately worded than yours. Is that even proper grammar? I own that album too and always loved “True Love Waits”, but that other version is truly horrible. If that had been the original version I wouldn't have ever liked it.
You made me wanting to listen to Kid A again right now. Back in 2000 I was working as a software tester for Philips and we made those audio CD recordable players. My first proper job. At one point we went to buy a couple of CDs for testing purposes. I chose Kid A and one of the American Recording albums of Johnny Cash (probably III because it was released around the same time). No one of my colleagues (a group of 20 max) liked Kid A. And I totally bought it out of curiosity and at first preferred their previous ones. But after repeated listening I got into it. Then I thought it was quite extreme with the distorted effects, now not so much anymore, especially not compared to Double Negative. Kid A the song I still skipped though.

But if you like to hear bootlegs, join Dimeadozen (or traders den, does zomb still exist if you like smashing pumpkins? Or check out
archive.org, I know you like godspeed and silver mt zion. Low is on it too. And that's the exact reason why I started taping myself, because I loved listening to those live sets. And it's great to revisit my own efforts once in a while. Some people take pictures during concerts. I never understand.
