Definitely the first one. I love the orchistration of the first one that the second one just didn't have. The 2nd is more souped up with the steel guitars and stuff like that Gord was using at the time that just doesn't fit. Plus, like Sydney said, his voice!!!

Of course, the 2nd version is great too. Like some other people said, much more upbeat, and it even has DRUMS!!!

Hope I don't offend anybody who likes the 2nd version. Just my opinion.
