    ALWAYS brings tears to my eyes. Just me stating MY opinion, but the song is the defining moment in the evolution of the "Rock" guitar.

    An extremely complex presentation, for sure.

    Most of those songs in that first list weren't even those acts' "show-stopper". You know, the song that when performed live would leave you weak in the knees. Sure, "My Generation" is iconic and it was explosive in the 60s. But the Who have ended far more shows with the nuclear devastation that is "Won't Get Fooled Again." Most of the songs listed are big hits but generally reduced to encores or middle of the set. Yeah, Rod Stewart/Faces might perform "Maggie May" but you can bet your ass that show is going to end with "Stay with Me".

    Unless something else comes to mind, I'm going to go with " "Echidna's Arf (Of You)/Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?" .

    Without a doubt even though it was 39 yrs ago "The Musical Box" by The classic Genesis lineup was the most spectacular and powerful live song I've ever experienced.

    I get the love for Comfortably Numb, but for me, Run Like Hell is the best live Floyd song.

    Great choice. But, the real gem on that release, IMO, is "It's My Own Fault."

    I scrolled down to H on the list and didn't see anything from Humble Pie's "Rockin the Fillmore", so dismissed the list.
    You say Mega Ultra Deluxe Special Limited Edition Extended Autographed 5-LP, 3-CD, 4-DVD, 2-BlueRay, 4-Cassette, five 8-Track, MP4 Download plus Demos, Outtakes, Booklet, T-Shirt and Guitar Pick Gold-Leafed Box Set Version like it's a bad thing...
