Certain tracks come to life outside of the original studio format. Examples in my opinion being Whole Lotta Rosie by AC/DC and most of Strangers in the Night LP by UFO. The original songs are okay but the energy of the live performances seems to really enhance them. Your favourites?

All the songs from Kiss Alive sound much better live.
We Will Rock You by Queen
I'm Eighteen by Alice Cooper - every live version I have heard has a great guitar solo
Heaven and Hell - original is a classic but the live version has that extra special midle section where Dio takes the song to another level.
Led Zeppelin- No Quarter from The Song Remains the Same CD (not DVD!) the organ solo is incredible AND Jimmy Page has the best tone ever on that solo in my opinion.
another great is Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac from the Midnight Special.
A lot of stuff from the Allman Brothers At Filmore East album are great. Check out In Memory of Elizabeth Reed
