Live Performances
Two versions of this song are used when played live. The two verses and choruses of the pre-album version segue into the latter section of the album version, sometimes including the instrumental breakdown. The intro and chorus of the album version are not used. As the outro is essentially a huge jam (revolving around an arpeggiated synth line created on a Minimoog Voyager), the whole song is known to last for over 14 minutes.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performances:
“We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets—we remember only.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
