What's the longest "version" of this song you've ever heard?

Longest version?   3:33 if you want to count the alternate version (Rollin' Up To Heaven). Otherwise, there was a bootleg version floating around years ago with a longer fade.....

Could someone provide a list of how many versions there are? and perhaps where to find them (I think we can make an exception here because I believe we are years away from a Shortenin Bread box set). :afro Here comes the night

There are two versions on "The Alternate Love You (Brian Loves You)". One is a 1:22 alternate take/mix and the other is a 2:29 version from the "It's OK" TV special rehearsal from 1976. Funny, on the latter they were singing "Alley Oop", which were the lyrics in the unreleased "Rollin' Up To Heaven" recording two years previously.

Yeah, where's the '76 rehearsal version at? Where can one find the entirety of the It's OK rehearsal? I love that show special so much, some of my favorite live versions of stuff are found on it, there's gotta be some gems on the rehearsal!!!

If you search you can find the "Bugged" and "Ding Dang" rehearsals. Doesn't seem like the "Surfer Girl" rehearsals are around unfortunately, as those are the best of the bunch. Brian sounded pretty good on the high notes, if I recall.
