Still sounds cool. But maybe after two decades of playing the track, plus scraping the archives for the old versions for the STITI boxset, plus the 2003 redux, what more can they do to the track? Ran out of ideas? There's been so many crap remixes, so I'm glad it's not one of those, anyway.
Also, the sustained chord fade out? Atmospheric, but alittle boring, too. I sincerely hope that the extended version isn't just an extra few minutes of that!

there is a least 10 other live versions improvised that sound better,
maybe more. heck, even redoing the actual born slippy instrumental would have been incredibly cool.
you don't think they could have easily tweaked the song in any one of those
ways or more radically than just slowing it down that would have done justice to the song.
sounds like they skimped out on it.
