I agree with the latter statement. This is what, IMHO, makes I'm free such a
tremendous song: two versions, almost equally good, that are almost polar
opposites studio to live. I love Roger's vocals and the acoustic solo from
Pete in the studio version, and I love Roger's near screams of "i'm free" and
the driving power chords and electric soloing from pete live. I really wish
this song would be played more like the IOW version. The hard sound fires me
up.
