1985 AMA's, even if his coat was so big it was practically dragging on the floor and the mic was set a wee bit too high for him. The vocals in that performance just slay me. And I love the bit where he kicks over the mic stand so it's out of the way for his guitar solo.

Good stuff. thumbs up!

Ugh....hell yeah!!! worship

There's an 18-minute live version - I think from an Atlanta show - that is the absolute best, IMHO.

I was in the nosebleeds for that show, so I couldn't tell if it was any good.

Man, those seats sucked.

The standing ovation is amazing, really.

A big part of a performance of any song is, for me, the way it's received by the audience. That's why the AMA's performance and, even though it's only a partial performance, the Superbowl halftime gig are so big for me. To see an audience that's made up of mostly non- or casual fans stand up and sing along, and applaud the lil guy like they really mean it is really something to see.

That's a good one too, but I'd be lying if I said all that hair flying around in the wind machine isn't a distraction from the playing.
