I'm thinking the Stones with HTW/Country Honk, Satisfaction/71 Live Funky Satisfaction and maybe studio vs live Rambler. Also Beatles acoustic vs electric Revolution. Any other examples you can think of?

That's not real!

Stray Cat Blues 1968 studio vs. Stray Cat Blues live ´69/´71

1981/82 Start Me Up to 1989/90 Start Me Up.

Or for that matter the studio version of Start Me Up and 1989/90 live Start Me Up.



In 1969 they had at least 5 songs that were played/performed completely different from the studio versions:

Satisfaction
Live With Me
Stray Cat Blues
SFTD
Under My Thumb

Eric Clapton - 'Layla': Studio-Version 1971 vs. Acoustic-Unplugged 1992.

IORR live vs. studio is completely different.

Of course the live arrangements evolve also. Sympathy live 1969 vs. 1989- (or 1989 vs. 2007 )

Of course. The biggest one since it gets played the most!

SFTD devolved in 1989! And it hasn't changed since! At least the 1975/76 version, which is different enough from the 1969 version, is preserved on LOVE YOU LIVE and LA FRIDAY.

Although technically a Mick solo track, his version of Memo from Turner is vastly different from the band version. Using that approach we could get into tracks like Lonely at the Top.

HBK

"It's All Over Now" at the London Palladium, 1967.


"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

- It's All Over Now 1964, 1994 onwards versus 1967, 1973
- 19th Nervous Breakdown 1965-67, 1997/98 versus 2005
- Like A Rolling Stone all versions versus Toronto rehearsal 1997

so what?
Throughout his whole career Bob Dylan re-arranged most of his songs more then just once. There are too many examples to mention. But there are at least five radically different versions of Shelter From The Storm. Or think of the way he has reworked Cold Irons Bound. Or the every changing Tangled Up In Blue (new lyrics, new arrangment…) etc etc etc

or compare this to the original version:

or Tight Connection To My Heart
studio 1985: [www.youtube.com]
live 1993: [www.youtube.com]

The Beach Boys had a tune called 'Back Home' on their 1976 "15 Big Ones" album...there were two earlier versions recorded in 1963 and 1970 that were very different. Unreleased for years, both were included on their 2013 "Made In California" boxed set.

The various studio versions of Mississippi comes to mind - from the full band version on Love and Theft to a slow bluesy acoustic version (on Telltale Signs), and there might be another one?.

Also, several studio versions of Most of the Time .
Here's the official version from Oh Mercy!
Bob Dylan - Most of the Time

And then this version on Telltale Signs which is superior to the above imo.
Bob Dylan Most of The Time




And I think there was another version that was even more stripped down than that also on Telltale Signs?

The 'kid' Career Opportunities isn't that bad, really ... Not to me anyway, there's something mesmerizing about it. But still, I agree, Sandinista has several tracks that are filler, however it does have enough great tracks to classify it as their last 'great' album.

Ian Hunter - All of the Good Ones are Taken
Ian Hunter - All of the Good Ones are Taken, Slow version

Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane
Lou Reed - Sweet Jane
... and for good measure (and my favorite),
Jim Carroll Band - Sweet Jane

Mott the Hoople may have the best version of Sweet Jane.

Dylan's forever rearranging his songs. Nearly every one of them is a work-in-progress.

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page rearranged a bunch of Zep songs on No Quarter. Ditto for Plant solo live.

Joni Mitchell rearranged a chunk of her old catalog on Miles of Aisles.

Neil Young - almost same song with different title - one acoustic one mega-electric.
Slightly different lyrics in the opening passages only:


Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) - electric version
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.


My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) - acoustic version
My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.

Paul McCartney - Coming Up, Live
Paul McCartney - Coming Up

I don't recall the circumstance of why I knew the live version first, I think it was a b-side, but I loved it ... then I heard the studio version and it sounds so lame compared to the live version.

Guns 'n Roses, Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 both had different Don't Cry versions, but I think the music was the same with different lyrics.

... Oh and Metallica, Unforgiven had 3 different versions of basically the same song (some refer to them as sequels) on 3 different albums. I found a youtube link that has all 3 back-to-back-to-back:
Unforgiven I, II, & III

... and another! Traveling Wilburys, both Handel With Care and End of the Line had significantly longer versions released, possibly on a deluxe reissue or something.
