Wasnt Of the Earth first described as a Peter Gabriel style tune by Stone?  Maybe im thinking of something else.  I was expecting Solsbury Hill

I think you're exactly right. I remember reading that as well.

"Let It Ride" is a really awesome song, too. I read somewhere that 25 songs were recorded for S/T.. 

I actually JUST read that yesterday. it was from a rolling stone article I believe. so for BoB to say "the vault is empty" is total bullshit. 

Where did BoB say that?

it was a little while back. i honestly can't recall, but he said it.

Never cared for Of The Earth. Yes, it is an unreleased song and somewhat rare live. But that doesn't make it any good.

Live at Third Man is the closest we're gonna get to a studio cut of Of The Earth.

yeah, I agree. if they haven't released one of the studio versions yet, and have openly stated that they just couldn't get it right on tape, it's not going to happen.

Nope! I don't get the love for it. The jam is nice, but it's just all over the place as a song. 

It's an okay song but it certainly isn't the end all, be all that everyone makes it out to be. I think too many people here equate rarity & inaccessibility with greatness.
