No matter how many times I hear this song or however many versions, I am just in awe. My favorite version is still the bootleg Cowtown, but this is just as incredible just different. It just moves me

thanks for everything Rory

The part at 5:54 reminds me of the Beatles "I Feel Fine" but a little odd.

Maybe I'm crazy.

@maya613

you're a right, it's definetely "I Feel Fine". :-)

Interesting observation. I'd say there are indeed certain similarities to the bass (and also piano) part in 'Sympathy for the Devil'. Although I personally think that this is a mere coincidence - if you listen carefully, the phrasing is not really identical (at least to my ears, but I may be mistaken, I'm no musician) - I definitively wouldn't rule out the possibility that Rory was paying tribute or that he subconsciously was playing a melody he'd heard before.

Anyway, well spotted!

@Tokeiihto13 Yea, i was trying to think what it sounded like and thats the closest i got get, but i doubt its it

[cheeseppuff]

I'm going out on a limb here but it kinda sounds like the one bass part on sympathy for the devil, where its like a little change up of bass

[cheeseppuff]

Thanks for this, I love hearing this masters different live recordings

[Tokeiihto13]

@cheeseppuff

You're welcome. :-)

@Tokeiihto13 :), and i was wonder is u knew is the part a 5:54 is something he made or something he just mixed in from another song, because it sounds very firmilar

[Tokeiihto13]

@cheeseppuff

Hm, quite possible. I haven't heard Rory play that particular musical sequence before and yes, I concur, it sounds a bit familiar though I can't put my finger on it. But perhaps it's just something he improvised on the spot (or came up with some nights before, who knows?). When on stage Rory was very creative and often tried out new things, slightly varying the arrangements of his songs in the process or adding little riffs and licks here and there.

@cheeseppuff Its from the Beatles "I feel fine"
