I don't want this to be too abrasive, but I can't agree with you. Phase 1 version is better because:

- All the Phase 2 live versions are super sappy (mainly the intro)
- I hate how a relatively minor guitar line from the original became the main riff in the Phase 2 version
- Hirama guitar solo > Ukigumo solo
- Phase 1 version had better build up with two choppy choruses to tease before sending you home with the full thing.
