Has two or three verses included that are not on the 6 minute version you typically hear. Personally, I like the 6 minute version. I think it's beautiful and its just the right length.
The only thing I've never understood is WHY THEY NEVER SING IT LIVE anymore...!?

There are so many versions of Sara out there that no one can even keep count. Last time I checked, I had twelve goddarn versions of that song. Then I got three more about two weeks ago, which is a grand total of fifteen. There's everything out there: studio demos, piano demos, alt vocals, alt guitar work, cleaning lady version, outtakes; you name it, it's out there. And someone even claims to have a 30 minute version, but they're full of malarkey.
As for why they never do it live anymore, I think it might be two reasons. One, Stevie said she doesn't like how it translates onto the stage. Two, I think it's too emotional for her to perform it every night.
The Edge of 17 that you're talking about Jason is only about eight and a half minutes long, so you're only missing 30 seconds.
It annoys the hell outta me. Those dove coos are lucky they didn't make the final version.
