you know, that Peel sessions "Natural's Not In It" is amazing, the guitar sound!! "Entertainment", which I only heard after the Peel Sessions, has always disappointed me......

I'll add the live 3-minute acoustic "Down by The River" that emerged at whatever stage of Neil Young's endless 21st century stream of retrospection.....not sure I like it BETTER, but it seems just as fundamental as the Crazy Horse recording.

Always loved this...Michael's home demo of "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."

On the Stevie Nicks tip, kind of a demo or alternate take but amazing nonetheless:

Shades Of Scarlett Conquering by Joni Mitchell, in it's demo form is a warmer prospect than the album version.

Some chords seem different without the additional instrumentation, and a few lyric changes too.
