AIC Nutshell, MTV Unplugged just gives me chills man. It’s almost like at the time the concert was put on, layne was nearing the end of his life and it amplified the lyrics and the song overall to a whole new level of raw and emotional with the bare acoustics. Truly a breathtaking and heart wrenching performance by one of the greatest frontmen and bands to ever do it.

Thr Unforgiven III from S&M2 in 2019 is a close third for the beautiful union of Hetfield's incredible vocal performance and the orchestra backing him up. It's profound.

I would have to say Eric Clapton's live performance of Layla from his 2014 "Plane's, Train's, and Erik" world tour is my favorite. It just so perfectly wraps around you when you listen to it. Between his amazing tone and feel on stage to the absolute solid musical group behind him it just wipes all other versions off the map for me. Just the the music following the opening riff moves my whole body for such a relatively calm song. It's also, in my opinion, Nathan East's best performance of the song.

The Tragically Hip - "Grace, Too." Their final concert, recorded by the CBC. Gord Downey had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, and he knew his time was coming up. The raw emotion of someone who, until that moment, seemed to be at peace with his fate, just boiling over, and yet somehow he maintained in control of his performance. They went into multiple encores that night for the first and only time in the band's history. Incredibly intense show, and they were in top form for every track they played, but "Grace, Too" was the bittersweet punctuation mark on the whole thing.

@@Mediocre_Bass_Player Amazing performers, with an outsized influence on modern Canadian music, but they were very distinctly Canadian, and that typically means a band will struggle to catch on south of the border. Same story for Matthew Good, really.

Children of the Grave off of the Randy Rhodes Tribute album is one of the greatest live performances of a pre-existing song I ever heard. It’s mainly for the epic guitar solo which blows the original out of the water IMO. You can literally hear the crowd going nuts after their finished. Unfortunately, there is no footage of this performance just audio. R.I.P.

Excellent list. One song that comes to my mind would always be " When the Levee Breaks" by A Perfect Circle live at Stone & Echo, if you've heard the studio version, you'll be amazed with what they did live.

I dont know if you will ever see this, but i have been really inspired by you. for the longest time i've wanted to learn the guitar, but every time i tried to learn nothing sounded good and those who were teaching me weren't there at the right times. after a while i just quit the guitar thinking it want meant for me until watching some of your videos one day and trying it again. For the first time in a while i felt like i was making progress and started getting complements that im good at it. Thank you :)

Ever since I had the epiphany moment where I realized that Satch leaves open space in most of his studio recordings so that he can transform the piece live with improv, his live performances were on another level for me. I remember being a 6,7,8 year old kid riding in the car with my dad, and he would pop in the CD for one of Joe's live concerts on car rides (even just to walmart), and often that would be my first time hearing a particular song. It wasn't until later once I get into playing myself that I'd hear some of the studio versions of songs like Cool #9, Just like Lightning, One Robot's Dream, even Always or Ice 9. I remember thinking that they were so empty and missing so much compared to the live version. It took me years to realize that he wrote it that way on purpose, so that when he plays it live can the song transcend into the true and full version of itself. IMO Joe definitely belongs on a list like this.

Anesthetize is my favourite song of all time. And Gavin Harrison's drumming ist absolutely out of this world on this track. Very good choice.

Search for dire straits tunnel of love live at Wembley 1985... such a great live performance of an already amazing song

Rhcp "Don't forget me" live at la cigale was so great and so much better than the studio version. One of there best performences

Yesssss!!!!

Big Love - Fleetwood Mac. Lindsey Buckingham's live performance is unreal. Just him and an acoustic guitar.... amazing.

Fat old sun live in Gdańsk! Gilmore’s solo at the end is face melting!!!

Soulshine by the Allman brothers band with Warren Haynes at the Atlanta international pop festival. Chills every time man.

sometimes it's shocking how good Dave Matthews is -- and i've been listening to him for like 30 years

SRV and Double Trouble Texas Flood live at the El Macombo. Absolutely changed my life

Echoes from Live in Pompeii gives me chills. Also Arriving Somewhere but not Here from the same concert as the video shows is probably the best music Porcupine Tree ever played in my opinion.

Oingo Boingo’s live versions of « who do you want to be » were always pretty dope, and especially when they performed their last show. the sheer speed of it alone is impressive

Mister Crowley is my favorite Randy Rhoads contribution. The live version from Tribute is so much better than the album cut. Cannot listen to that without getting goosebumps.

Awesome list, have already spent some time checking out these concerts. My suggestion for #11: Sultans of Swing from the Alchemy album is straight fire, they really kicked an already great song up a few gears!

Queen’s Sombody to Love either from Milton Keys or Live at Montreal are absolutely powerhouse performances

If you liked the Folsom prison you should check out the live version of San Quentin played at that prison. It was the songs debut and the inmates liked it so much they wanted it again, so he obliged. The amazing part is they included it on the live album, both times.

I know porcupine tree was already included, but I do want to mention the slightly lesser-known Dislocated Day live on Coma Divine. Chris Maitland's drum performance on that is incredible!

"She's got a way" by Billy Joel. The studio version is great but the live performance is just leaps and bounds beyond amazing

Unfortunately, the original recording of that whole "Cold Springs Harbor" album was speed up due to crappy mastering. I had that original tape, and it was god awful. They've since remastered it, but it sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks when it first came out. I couldn't blame Joel for putting out those songs again with a better sound. Search for "Shes Got A Way Billy Joel Original Pressing 1971 from Cold Spring Harbor" to hear it. It's a great song mixed and mastered horribly.

Glad to see where the light is on this list

I dont know if it counts... but the radiohead live versión of in rainbows is great
