What's a song where the remix, demo, or live version is better than the album version?

I feel like this is going to get me in so much trouble. 🤦‍♀️ I grew up with Earth Wind and Fire. So many of their tracks take me right back to my youth. In this case, I just love the bridge in this version where they say, “Break it down…” Plus, Earth Wind and Fire still perform on this version, so we aren’t losing their musical genius all together.
