What songs do you like better live than the studio album versions? Here's my list:

Rain - Madonna (Girlie Show DVD-probably one of her best performances ever!)

Rhiannon - F. Mac (Any 70s live version or 1982 Mirage Concert version)

Bad - u2

If you wear that velvet dress - U2

dress you up - madonna (virgin tour)

Oop I did it again - Brintey spears (Oh wait, she lip sings)

Reasons live (from the Gratitude album) by Earth Wind & Fire. It was so good even Eddie Murphy copied it on2 "Coming To America" (the Sexual Chocolates...,"they play so fine dont you agree!?" was copied from Philip Bailey)

Philip Bailey used the falcetto 2 the fore...

After all the reasons why
all the reasons were alive
after all the reasons why..
yeah..yeah ..YAAAHHHOOOWWW!!!

Hell yeah!

Most MJ songs, particularly Shake Your Body, Another Part of Me, Man In The Mirror and Rock With You

also the version of "devotion" that's on gratitude is good, too.

definitely mike's 'another part of me' (1988), prince's 'irresistible bitch' (1985) and not so long ago i went to one of common's shows and i gotta say: 'electric wire' didn't really impress me when listening to the album 'electric circus', but live.. oh man, it kicks ass!
