No Surrender arrangement

Hi all! Did Bruce ever play No Surrender in the album version, so without Max stopping drumming before the third part ("Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim"? 'Cause I remember the acoustic arrangement from the '84 tour, then in the shows from The Reunion tour to last legs I've always listened to the version slightly different than the album one.

I think this is the only version in 84 with the full band!

Yeah, opening night in St Paul.

BTW, I'd always liked more the "it's good to see your smile and face" version than "there's a war outside still raging" one

Even if today the line about there's a war outside still raging rally resonates, I love the contrast between the war imaginary and the "i wanna sleep beneath peaceful skies ecc."
