That one from Japan looks like Tico either cut Richie short during the outro or Richie was ready to go over the number of bars they'd pre-planned for jamming - seemed a bit messy.

I'd not heard the rumour that it was originally meant to be on the album either. Shame it wasn't.
I think Tico played the ending fill at the right time, as a drummer myself I know when its right to cut a noodling guitarist short.

Of course the guitarist will think he's blowing everyones mind but 9/10 he's not.

I don't rate the distance as a live track.
