Man, those are just both absolutely stellar performances. One of the things I am grappling with is that Red Mosquito is a song that is elevated live in a way that Animal isn't, but do I want to penalize Animal for being the superior studio track (and the live version selected here isn't diminishing the power of the song in any way)

Animal here. One of the songs best served by the power and aggression of early PJ.

My thoughts exactly. Though I do think Red Mosquito is much better live than on record.
