Note: This track is the most complete version of the original studio performance and is presented here with no interruption. The original album version fades out earlier. This recording was also edited into the 2 sides of the "Rock & Roll Stew" single. The original Part 1 (side 1 of the single) was an edit (with shortened instrumental break) of the album version. The original Part 2 (side 2 of the single) was a jam that extended past the album version's fadeout.
