I think I have been missing out on this discussion .. watching too much tennis at Queens Club! And doing a jigsaw.
Having listened to all three versions .. I like Version 1 way ahead of the other two. It somehow is crystal clear .. and makes you feel you are there playing with the band.
Version 2 is very 'hollow' to me, sounding 'over the top of your head'. This is the effect I get when listening to something in MONO. Can't pick out where the instruments are playing from.
Version 3 .. the drummer sounds as if he is playing in a room with a thick carpet and curtains, which absorbs all the 'echo' one would normally get off the walls when playing in a hall.
Maybe all this is because I always listen using headphones .. so anything playing eg. into my right ear is not heard at all in my left. And vice versa. With speakers, both ears would hear sound playing from both speakers.

It's all about the music!
