Very good question!
I prefer the "In the Skies" version of "A Fool No More". The whole tone of the song is so different from the early Mac version - changing from a tone of anger to one of utter resignation. It might be my favorite track, studio or live, from all of Peter's post-Mac work.
I have the opposite feeling about "It Takes Time". I prefer the live version from The Warehouse in New Orleans, from 30 January 1970 - Peter and the band really nailed it on that night. That version has so much more life to it than the Splinter Group versions I've heard.
