There's nothing better than experiencing music live. In fact, some of the best versions of classic songs are live versions.

Outstanding
Anything on Deep Purple’s Made In Japan double album.
That is all.
Have you ever heard the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers live cover that was performed at the Fillmore? It’s very nice. JJ Cale was such a talent.
Many Rolling Stones tunes have superior live versions. But the opposite is also true. Some live versions are pathetic, no matter how the Stones try to pull it off.
I love watching the Stones play Gimme Shelter live. I’ve seen them twice and it’s really fun to watch.
“’Life During Wartime’ by the Talking Heads”
The Great Curve by them. Live in Italy and on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KQjy02eqOk

Oh Atlanta (Live at Lisner Auditorium, Washington, DC, 8/10/1977) Little Feat.
I found this on JJ Cale’s wiki page. Sounds like an album I need to look for.
In 2014, Eric Clapton & Friends released the tribute album The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale. On it, Cale’s tunes are covered by Clapton with Tom Petty, Mark Knopfler, John Mayer, Don White, Willie Nelson, Derek Trucks, Cale’s wife Christine Lakeland, and others. In the video version of Call Me The Breeze for this album, Clapton declares of Cale, “He was a fantastic musician. And he was my hero.”
Me too, but Cale was a great writer.
For some reason I can only find the live version of Peter Framptons ‘Do you feel like we do’ so I can’t compare.
Probably my favorite.
Anything by Rush.
Look up “Rush Best intro ever” and check out Frank Costanza rocking away on the overhead screen. Geddy Lee is also drying clothes while he sings, as usual.
1000%!
I have to imagine that the long version of Sweet Jane with the two guitar into would be great live.
Framton Comes Alive, was a studio produced track that was made to sound live. It was one of the greatest recording feats of the early 70s. Peter Frampton could never play that song as well as the one recorded with piped in applause, riffs, and vocals.
Thus, I disagree. In fact most of the Live Versions out there have been re-recordered and every channel the mixers possess are tweeked to fix it for your continued enjoyment. You want proof - I went to an Eric Clapton concert in Hong Kong and got the live recordings from the front row. Later on they released tracks which destroys the myth of LIVE music recorded.
Again, you might experience something at a concert, but if you are listening to a LIVE version it has been re-recorded and cleaned up. In fact, it went back to the stuido to be edited in order to be released as LIVE.
Loan Me a Dime by Boz Scaggs.
On In the Studio with Redbeard, Frampton said, “The album is mostly live except for the first verse of ‘Something’s Happening’, the electric rhythm guitar on ‘Show Me the Way’ (the talk-box came out but the engineer forgot to move the mic) and the intro piano on ‘I Wanna Go to the Sun’ were fixed in the studio but the rest was all live (all the guitar solos, acoustic guitars, electric keyboards, drums, bass guitar and rest of vocals)”.
Either Frampton’s a liar or you are.
Absolutely!
JJ Cale was, and still is my favorite musician. His music is cool, no pretensions, just cool.
Frampton told some local radio station in 76 that it was studio album. This was the GREATEST CONTROVERSY in my Army Platoon and Company. We argued about this darn thing for several years. Sometimes when something is too perfect it is. They stitched together the recordings. That isn’t live, it’s contrived.
