Live versions that own the studio version

[NT!]

There are a few songs out there where the live version is just super different, or way better, than the studio one.

I think the gold standard here is 'No Woman No Cry.' The impassioned performance and slightly slower, freer tempo - and the great audience involvement - make it a whole different song.

Others:

Straight to Hell - The Clash (From Here to Eternity)
I Shall Be Released - The Band (The Last Waltz)
Dublin Blues - Guy Clark (Live at the Bluebird)
