The "wind" issues Don mentions when introducing Seven Bridges Road may also partly explain the new HOTE version of Witchy Woman.
They did 7BR in LA at the beginning of 2014 and there were no breathing issues, nor were there any in 2012 or 2013. I'm not sure why Don said this, I suppose he had his reasons, and I won't sit here and say he's wrong. However, the original version of Witchy Woman doesn't fit into the band-hanging-out-at-Bud's vibe, and they need the long intro to get Joe onto the stage. So while holding one's breath may have played into it, I seriously doubt it's the reason they changed it up. As with 7BR, they performed it just fine in 2012 and 2013, a mere 3.5 months before the HOTE opener in July 2013.
