superior live versions? (rock, Atmosphere, cover, bands, songs)

What songs do you prefer the live version over the studio version? Most of the time, I prefer the studio version but in some cases, the live one is much better...
such as..
The Stones - Midnight Rambler live
Joe Walsh - In the City live

Early songs The Clash did like Complete Control and Capital Radio sound a lot better on 'From Here To Eternity'. Theres more kick to them.

Most of Motorheads stuff is better live I think. Not so much quality wise but the energy is just so much more present. Overkill is awesome live.

anything post-rock is always much better live. Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, etc...

I always seem to prefer Live versions to songs because they seem to have more atmosphere to them ! I especially enjoy when a band will break from the studio version and ad-lib versions of songs but me thinks you have to go back to Zeppelins days to find those bands.... The Who always had a live sound in the studio to !

The 15 - 30 minute versions of Whole Lotta Love Live now they kick some ass!!!!!
