I agree with you here. Especially on the chorus aspects. Those choir harmonies are pure gold. However, I do love the older live versions because of Lindsey's guitar work on the choruses. Plus the ending on the live version is so dramatic. Love it!
Gotta say my favorite live version has to be Rosebud 77'
