Damned from Toronto 2003. Jon screams the word "Damned" every time in the chorus which gives me absolute chills. Other fantastic Damned performances were in Frankfurt 2008 and Toronto 2010.
Bed of Roses from Frankfurt 2008. Jon went far out of his comfort zone that night and especially here. He even used his raspy voice for "I got nothing to prove..." (5:42) like he did during the mid-90's.
Vocally probaby his best effort in recent years on These Days. Again from Frankfurt 2008. He even used the higher register for "I guess I'd rather die than fade away..."
I'll Be There For You from Charlotte 2010. Enough said...
Dry County from the 3rd night at MSG 2011. The band were forced off stage due to a power failure and came back furious. It's reflected in this performance (and KTF as well!).
Hey God from Mannheim 2011. As the show progressed, Jon got more and more confident with his vocals and pushed for it. Very intense, sent shivers down my spine as I attended the concert.
I was hoping to find a video of the broadcasted audio, but all I was able to come up with was that one. It was the matinee in Philly 2010 and the best vocals he pulled off on Always since the 90's for me. I'll dig out the broadcast and post a proper audio file.
EDIT: Here it is:

Considering how he sounds on these broadcasts nowadays it was astonishing how well he was singing there.
I Believe from London 2008. His singing was more aggressive in Lisbon 2011, but overall I liked this one more vocally.
There were surely more impressive ones but I don't feel like searching any more stuff
