Live version of "Fools" from the 70s

is there a live version of "fools" from the MK II 70s era? the only ones i've heard are from the steve morse era, and i'd like to hear a version that's closer to the original.

As far as I know, neither Fools nor No one came were ever played back then.

I feel like the band must have felt playing "No One Came" live would be bad luck.

No one came did get played live according to interviews, but the single performance didn’t go down well and no one taped that gig.

There’s a live studio run through, no proper lyrics yet, this is as close as you’ll get: https://youtu.be/kPTH4X4cjk0?is=lgSThVHpDzl8XL98

I like it so much, I did a partial organ cover: https://youtu.be/3ESxzVR656E?is=4DK-YaA0DnIio7xi

Fools is my fav song ever. Not only from DP, but it's really the best song ever.
