Unfinished?

Maybe. Or, -> from "Jam" and -> an unfinished "Slave," simply part of a crazy point in history where a clearly 'distracted' band works through the song as best as they are able before creating a bouncy, Page-crazy, chord-laden (Trey) version marked by wide open space; strange changes; eerie 'underwater' overtones; sparse - yet pointed - Fish; and groovy Mike. Must hear, and more than once.
