The first chorus to second verse transition was very jarring to me the first few times listening, but I have gotten used to it. I do prefer the way they do it live without that, but it doesn't bother me.
I do wish that more time was spent on the mix. It does sound very raw, and that was probably what they were going for because it was live in the studio, but I think that song would sound very good if it were polished up a bit mix wise especially the drums. Snare and toms sound a bit flat compared to Carter's typical sound.
It definitely made me realize that I had this expectation that any of the unrelated live gems were going to be treated with great care in the studio and sound amazing, but i have a feeling that if we ever get a live not live album, its going to be pretty raw like this.
