I've noticed one thing that may point to the differences between stereo and mono versions: listening to the stereo version, I've noticed how clearly the recording captures the sound of the room. Especially during the guitar solo, when the entire band goes into overdrive, you can palpably feel how the temperature in the recording room heats up.
