Does a studio version of Welcome 2 the Rat Race exist?

I'm just wondering if one was ever recorded and heard publicly. It seems like a song that sophisticated would have to be rehearsed.

I've only heard one live version that's pretty scratchy.

Thanks

It's called In a large room with no light. He released a rerecorded studio version online in conjunction with the announcement of his performance at Montreux, I think it was 2009. That is a vault track I'd love to hear in pristine quality.
He played it live at Montreux and a perfect soundboard version circulates.
