Default Your ONE fave live performance!
Hello,

Heres a wee challenge for those who are interested. Find what you consider to be the best live performance of one song of your choice and post it here.

It doesnt have to be the best live performance of a popular song or your favourite song. Just a performance which, on balance, you think shows excellent songwriting, singing, playing, etc. The sort of performance you would show to a non-fan to show Jovi at their best.

For example, if I could only choose one I would probably be inclined to go with hard letting you go @ o2 2010.
Even though dave and co were trying to figure out the chords, I think the atmosphere, emotion, lyrics and Jons voice create a very special performance.

Silent Night (Cincinnati 1987)


This is one of many but the one I'm feeling right now.

Dortmund '93 and An Evening '92 are great shows, but my favorites are ...



Lie To Me - Tampa 1995
minute 5:00 until 6:50. Jon is awesome here, and I love the vocal accompaniment of Richie throughout performance too.

Dry County - Camden 1995
Best part ever! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jIVo5fubgs#t=01h09m17s


Bono and The Edge can not do that.

That is one of my absolute favorites - It's Eric Burden's It's My Life:

It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
But girl there are ways
To make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags
I'll wear sable some day

I also love it when he does Point Blank (Bruce's song) at that spot - it always wows me.

These Days Johannesburg 1995


But I do love the whole Tampa show from 1995. Lie To Me and This Ain't a Love Song are out of this world. The Dry County, Always and Blaze of Glory versions from Wembley 1995 are also incredible.

Keep the Faith from Giants Stadium, July 2001. The performance is perfect, this whole show is damn near perfect. Richie's guitarwork is on point, and Jon is so ****ing in to the song.

I agree. This performance along with Anaheim 2003 are truly spectacular and unsurpassed. Others performances from Keep The Faith Tour and These Days Tour were not as good as here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nzLVX68f4I#t=02m06s

Keep the Faith, Stockholm, 1993.

I WORE OUT my video tape rewinding and rewatching this performance. The screams... OMG, the screams!!!!!!!

As far as a full show, here's one that I really liked:

Montreal, 1995, 2nd night.
