Barclay James Harvest - Medicine Man, an old 7inch that I have played at 33 1/3 that you have to flip over as the guitar solo is so long and so great.
 
How about The Who "Summertime Blues" (from Live at Leeds)? I must dig this out now I thnk of it! Or Peter Tosh's "Johnny Be Goode"? I don't dance, but you just have to when this comes on. I've just realised I have a theme here...
 
Foo Fighters Stacked Actors ,

Saw them play this at the NEC fantastic , they played it at Wembly but i think the Toronto 2002 performance of it on the everywhere but home dvd is better (and just like the one i saw at the NEC).
 
'Country Feedback' REM from the ltd ed of In Time CD or on Perfect Square DVD - which is the also one the best concert DVDs I've ever seen
 
I've been to a lot of gigs, and many festivals, and have seen some amazing performances, and of course, some absolutely awful ones. I've seen Iggy Pop, Radiohead, Sex Pistols, Oasis, Blur, Spiritualized, Neil Young, The Cure, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Flaming Lips, and em Big Country (1st ever gig) and so many many more........but the best single track I ever saw live was Gravity Grave by Verve (before the THE was added) at Glastonbury in 1993, absolutely mindblowing. I will admit to not being completely with it at the time, but I swear I was leviatating towards the end.

"We've got one minute to go, C'Mon, one minute, One Minute, ONE MINUTE, O-N-E M-I-N-U-T-E !!!!!! Then all hell breaks loose.

I'm not a big fan of The Verve, but I saw them twice in their early days, and boy, those boys could rock. It's a shame that the commercial direction Richard Ashcroft took them in, ruined the dynamic of the band, Nick McCabe is a genius, Ashcroft isn't, and they were never the same animal after Urban Hymns. Something was lost, and as hard as they tried, they couldn't find it again.

There is a live recording of this particular track and concert, but it doesn't come close to the energy I felt while watching, you get an idea, but actually being there was in a different stratosphere in comparison.

Memories ey?
