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

An old high school friend from Iowa found me recently on Fakebook and said he remembered how I'd said "Frampton Comes Alive" was going to change music forever.
Honest to God, I don't remember saying any such thing. I do remember playing that album on my turntable until it wore out, and years later the guy who'd invented the mouth guitar that Peter Frampton used on "Frampton Comes Alive" would be a fellow Ham Radio guy who INVENTED that mouth guitar, and who's microphone line I own as part of my own ham radio hobby.
Who knew?
And BTW: I wasn't a big Bob Seger fan back in the day, but now? HELL YEAH. "Turn the Page" is a big time fav. of mine.
The only one I can really claim is Reasons by Earth, Wind and Fire.
Live is stunningly better than the excellent studio version. Verdine White on bass, Don Myrick with huge sax solo and of course the unparalleled Philip Bailey on vocals.
Karn Evil 9 - Emerson Lake & Palmer
Anything from “Live Rust” - Neil Young
30,000 Pounds of Bananas - Harry Chapin

The difference is staggering.
UFO: ‘Rock Bottom’.

I love Seger’s music but I just discovered he’s a big lefty ... oh well ...
Got two of them:
Hammer to fall- Queen (original on album ‘The Works’.Live version from LiveAid, 1985.)
Hotel California- The Eagles (Original from ‘Hotel California’. Live version from ‘Hell Freezes Over’. Live version is acoustic.)
‘Running Free’ by Iron Maiden
Honestly, how many old rockers aren’t? That’s one group as a whole I tolerate there imbecilic lefty views. Not going to stop listening regardless.
Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple from the album Live in Japan. Love the ending.
Every single piece of music in the 70s was a helleva lot better live than anything done in the studio! Those were the days!
SO TRUE!
Almost anything by the Grateful Dead
HELL YEAH!!!
