What songs do you like an alternate version better than the original studio version? I'm not talking covers here, but acoustic, live, remixed, etc.

Here's my inspiration for this thread: Grey Street by Dave Matthews Band.

I never owned any DMB albums, but I bought his solo "Some Devil" when it came out. The bonus CD has 5 live acoustic cuts on it, the first of which is "Grey Street." I fell in love with the song and listened to it all the time.

I then bought the "Central Park Concert" CD from DMB (which is great), but i thought that "Grey Street" was pretty lame. I then came to realize that just about every "full band" version of the song that I came across sucked. None stood up to the power of just Dave and a guitar.

So what are your songs that you prefer an alternate version of?
