During many of the post-hiatus live versions, this song featured a long spacey jam after
interlude in the key of C. The jam was usually split into two parts, and was bridged
by a distinct riff (Jam Riff 1):
Jam Riff 1:
C--------------------------------------------|
A--------------------------------------------|
F------------7-7-----------------7-9b11-7----|
C--7-7-7-7-9-----9--0--7-7-7-7-9----------0--|
F--------------------------------------------|
C--------------------------------------------|
After this, the improvisation continued and each band member went in their own direction
it was time to bring the song back together for a final chorus. This was done using
Riff 2:
Jam Riff 2:

A--5--3--1--0--1--3--7--|
F--0--0--0--0--0--0--7--| x3
C--0--0--0--0--0--0--x--|

Hold/strum the C chord for a few measures each time the first part to this riff is played.
