Like dcba wrote, I also love the 1975 version (apart from the one in the "video-show". They're insane. But if I had to pick just one version, it would stilll be 1st show in Brussels 1973.

I personally just find this song to be sooooooooo overrated.
For me it took a really long time and lots of live versions to get it. It's not really about the songwriting with this one, it's about the mood it creates and the journey it takes you on.Quote

"opéra blues" as Keith said.
Everytime my favorite song.

Each has its own magic.
Isn't there editing trickery in the studio cut during the first transition going from the main song into the middle "don't do that" section? Sounds like a blend in editing--especially when you focus on Charlie.
For that, I give the point to the live version when they have to execute all the changes without any help.

haha you make it sound like a chore. don't know if Steve really found a way into it but the tempo changes are almost ceremonial especially the last one with Keith in the role of grandmaster tempo

My point was that in the original track the switch to this section appears to be spliced together. Listen closely to the hi-hat. At 2:25 there appears to be two different hi-hat patterns crashing into one another for a split second before the new pattern finally starts off the section.

It's not a chore on stage--they obviously have perfected it. Keith has always initiated the changes, we know this. On this last tour tho, Steve made the call for the final change instead of Keith.
Maybe there was a version with Brian on guitar but it was replacedQuote

I could easily pick -72 July 26 MSG or Bruxelles -73 but Im gonna go with the studio, my initial crush with this masterpiece. Kniwing Brian is present despite of Keith doing ”Brians part” from Two Trains (sort of) on the 12-string Rickenbacker.

I should have another listen mate!
'Beast of Burden among their worst songs? Are you serious? Please name your favourites, I'm fascinated )
I like the '71 version (roundhouse?) that starts with a jam btw.

I can't stand either.
That's rare ;o)
Yes, I know. I'm an anomaly. Don't like Rambler. And think Shattered, Angie, and Beast of Burden are all amongst their worst songs. Not as bad as MAWGJ, but not far off.
