Ok, i was thinking about all the gigs i've been to over the years, and started to try and come up with my favourite live tracks out of all of them. It's not easy, some you like for the way they got the crowd rocking (AC/DC-Hells Bells and For Those About to Rock) and others for how they made the hairs on your arms stand on end and go goosey (Pink Floyd-Great Gig in The Sky). Those are mine, interested to see what you come up with !

It must be the Stax tour of 1966(?) and Otis Redding singing "Try a Little Tenderness" & "I've Been Loving You too Long" - brilliant !!

Billy Joel - Keeping the Faith.  Just was a great rocking song that was sung with pure joy.

Dire Straits - Private Investigations.  Not their best song by far, but truly spooky atmospheric stage lighting.

Foreigner - I Wanna Know What Love Is.  When the whole choir trooped on stage and sung their bit, the elegance of the sound was stunning.

Pink Floyd - Crazy Diamond.  Difficult to single out a PF song, but this brought the whole audience to it's feet singing (or was that swaying? - probably both).

Meatloaf - Paradise by the Dashboard Light.  What a duet, what sheer energy!

The Eagles - Desperado.  Hair-on-the-back-of-yer-neck job.

Better stop before I run out of paper....... 

Love all the above, ipek.  My favourites - China Grove - The Doobie Brothers and Freebird - Lynard Skynard
For me it has to be Pink Floyd's - "Comfortably numb" with Dave Gilmours 9 minute guitar solo which makes the hairs go up on my neck, sheer brilliance in my book
Well, check "Star Spangled Banner", Jimi Hendrix, live at Woodstock. More like a statement about "cousins", but then again...
