Name some of the best "live" recordings of your favorite music. I usually like the studio versions better, but many times, it's not the best.
I'm not talking about being there- getting the live experience. Typically, that is always better than listening to a band or artist.
What I am asking for is your opinion about what bands or artists have their stuff played on the radio or on an album and the live stuff is the stuff we remember to be better than anything studio recorded. We didn't have to be there to appreciate that these live versions are the most awesome.
One example would be Eric Claptan's COCAINE. It's a fine studio recording on an album, but the (arguably) best and most played version is a live version with the audience supplying much of the chorus. It's 7and a half minutes, so hang on-

Another great example is the Kinks. Many of their songs are best remembered from the live version. Their best LOLA is totally live:
