- one of the two most important vehicles for improvisational playing in a live setting.
the years, live versions have featured several different 'intro jams' which occasionally
into new songs (e.g. Pastoral). The middle bridge also sometimes had jams that were
songs (e.g. On That Hollow Day).

I really don't have a clue what's going on right before the last chorus on the studio
because Rich's guitar is pretty much inaudible at that point. On the Freak and Roll Into
Fog live album however, it sounds like Rich just hits a G chord at the 12th fret over
over.
Final Two Choruses:

The second time through, the same chords are played three times (as shown above), but
slides up to the 12th fret and begins picking individual notes in an order that I'm not
going to attempt to figure out. Improvise it and even throw in a few slides down to the
fret and back up to the 12th if you want.

And then on the final "make my haze blow away", play the following to bring an end to
song:
