The drums suck on that leak, I much rather the final take of the drums. And I also miss the bass and guitar on the beggining.

The ending is so different, different lyrics.

It's cool to hear them once in a while. The first half of the song sounds a little bit less messy than the album version, but the second half sounds is messy on that leak.

I like the leak better...I HATE HATE HATE the guitar that they added in the first two verses. Its sounds like crap, its messy and doesnt fit the song.  The leak seems more polished.  My favorite version of the song is the 02 version witht he guitar lick at the beginning

Yes, I agree, the '02 version is the best. The pace and tempo and arrangement of the '02 version was just superior in every aspect.

Gotta agree.  02 live is the best version, followed by the leak, then the album version last. The 02 version of the intro rocked!  Robin's best guitar solo is on this song, probably the closest he gets to Slash in style and tone. Axl really pushes his vocals too. Great lyrics. Still my favorite of those first four or five songs they played back in 02.

They've changed the song a lot from the 01/02 live performances. Don't know why they took Robin's intro guitar parts out, I thought they were cool. The beginning feels a bit empty now. The endings better on the album though, with a really good buckethead solo on the final verse that's really moving if you listen closely. I'm glad they called it street of dreams, cause the blues is a bit of a generic title.

Got all these questions.
Don't know who I could even ask.
So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream.

it's one of my favorites from the album, maybe someone will find it strange, but I don't see a big difference between a live performances and a final version  :?:. Especially I like piano intro, D. Reed did a great job on this song, he is a reall talent.
