I've heard the live version of Bob Seger's "Turn The Page" over and over again through the years, but only recently heard the studio version for the first time...



The popular live version...



Same with Santana's "Soul Sacrifice". I've seen the great Woodstock performance over and over again, but only recently checked out the studio version (very cool...but not the same)



The version everyone talks about...



I guess some live performances become so famous that the original studio versions are pretty much forgotten.

Any other examples can be posted here...

I think this qualifies...

This is the original studio version of "Down On Me" that Janis Joplin recorded in 1966 with Big Brother & The Holding Company on Mainstream Records before they had gained any national attention.



And here is the definitive version that most people are familiar with, recorded live in 1968, and released after her death. It's on her Greatest Hits album. Much more aggressive and well known.
