The Chicago FM stations played the full version, but WLS & WCFL on the AM side played the shorter version.
As I recall, the beginning of the acoustic guitar solo led into the end of the sax solo, cutting out the best parts of both and completely cutting out that soaring electric guitar part.
But, the FM stations played it often enough, and I had the album, so it didn't but me.
