Where to begin... I'll start with these two (not saying there aren't better, but DAMN!):

Judy Garland - Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Bon Iver (Jools Holland) - Skinny Love

Whatcha got?

I agree with echoes, but like the Gdansk version better.

David Gilmour - Live in Gdansk is my favorite live album of all time.

Nightwish-Ghost Love Score.

I just discovered this & Floor Jansen might just be the greatest living female singer right now.

Pearl Jam Alive Pinkpop '92
Got to be up there with the most emotion given by a band. The crowd is bananas too.

I’m partial to this live version of Bodhisattva by Steely Dan. The 2:30 minute intro is quite possibly the best intro ever by a clearly drunk Jerome Aniton, who was the truck driver for Steely Dan during their early 70's tours. Though I could see how some might find it annoying, I love it and so did Walter Becker and Donald Fagan according to folks connected to the band.

Bodhisattva (Live At The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, CA)

The song has special meaning to me as it reminds me of some really fine times with old friends in my first year of college at LSU (my only year there as financial and personal obligations required I transfer to USL).

I never thought much of George Michael until I saw "Somebody To Love" at the Freddie Mercury tribute.

Forgive my ignorance, but I don’t know how to do a link. But for any soul/funk/horns fans, TOP “Soul Vaccination “ may be the best live album I’ve ever heard. Some powerful musicians on that album and it is flawless.

For me it was Robert Plant singing When the levee breaks at JazzFest year after Katrina. Very very powerful.

Layla- Eric Clapton- Live Aid 1985

The best live version ever of this song.

Phil Collins on drums driving it forward at breakneck speed. And Clapton’s solos over the piano coda at the end are breathtaking
