Excitable Boy - Warren Zevon
Peter Frampton “Show Me The Way” ... listening to the live version right now. Saw him play in the farmfields of Iowa when he intro’d this song.
“In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” from Fillmore East is far superior to the version from the Allman Brother’s second Album.
For some reason I can only find the live version of Peter Framptons ‘Do you feel like we do’ so I can’t compare.
Stairway to Heaven.
Cheap trick at Budokan seems to not have a non live version also.
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 many of Meats songs depend on performance. As he says he is an actor who can sing.
Plus most bands who have outstanding stage shows, even crazy guys like Alice Cooper are way better in person.
Here is one for sure:

Many of the Allman Brothers tunes sound better on the Fillmore East live album — or at least epic in their own right — than the studio versions of those songs.
I prefer the Beach Boys’ “Heroes and Villains” live on the early ‘70s In Concert album to the studio version from 1967.
Rock and Roll All Nite - Kiss
“Galveston” by Glen Campbell.
Jeff Mezydlo was obviously a Peter Frampton fan. He takes up several spots with Frampton songs.
My two cents would nominate any song performed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, especially when they played at the Fillmore for 20 concerts in January and February, 1997. That’s my favorite set of live albums.
They did a great cover of “Call Me The Breeze”, written by JJ Cale, and performed previously by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
