1. Here's a few

"Rockin' In The Free World"- Neil Young (especially on his guestshot on SNL)

"Whipping Post"- Allman Brothers (Especially Zappa's live versions)

"Plaid Coat"- The Gourds (love the studio version, but the live version soars)

"Life Is Sweet"- Maria McKee (I've her her play this life and it's astounding)

"Louie, Louie"- Every Garage Band In The World (meant to be played llive, loud, and drunk)

2. "The Last Time I Saw Richard"

Joni Mitchell's "Miles of Aisles"

[Richardo]

3. "Bodhisattva"

"And here he is.......MR STEELY DAN an' whatever."

Drunkest. intro. ever.

4. Rock and Roll all Night - Kiss

Actually almost any song on Kiss Alive (1) compared to the studio cut on one of the first 3 albums.

5. Sunday Bloody Sunday off Under a Blood Red Sky

Hard to beat the emotion in that. I'd also add "Silver and Gold" off of Rattle and Hum. The original on the Sun City album is a little flat.
