Reed's solo on "I'm Set Free" is some of the most heartbreakingly gorgeous music he ever played, the flipside to (and as powerful, though not as groundbreaking as) "I Heard Her Call My Name". You haven't really heard it until you give the "closet mix" version a spin, by the way. I'm even willing to forgive Brian for a lot of the turdness he's done with U2 if he tackles this one in an enthralling way.
