Fela used to play new songs live, then abandon them once he'd recorded the studio versions.

Did Neil Young ever record a studio version of My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)? In fact, wasn't Rust Never Sleeps pretty much all at least semi-live?

Oh yeah, Neil Young has probably done this more than any comparable figure in rock music.

yeah, no studio version of "needle & the damage done," a bunch of the Rust stuff (though those may have overdubs), a lot of Harvest Moon ...
