Best single-song live performances you've seen
 

I was just thinking of some of the best specific songs I've seen played live and was wondering what you guys' would be.

Queensryche- Eyes of a Stranger (both times); The Whisper
Clutch- Burning Beard
Rob Zombie- House of 1000 Corpses
Heaven and Hell- Heaven and Hell
Opeth- Deliverance (both times)
Mastodon- Mother Puncher; Blood and Thunder (both times)

These were the main ones that came to mind, but there's gotta be a thousand more.

Yours?

HORSE the band- Cutsman
Strapping Young Lad- Zen
The Cult- Rain
Audioslave- Doesn't Remind Me
Rob Zombie- Thunderkiss '65

Yeah, it's hard to break great shows down to the single song level.

And even though Nick already mentioned it, the first thing that comes to mind is Revelations from the Early Days tour.

For me, I didn't pick those songs because they were performed flawlessly or anything, but because they mean something to me, were surprises in the setlist, or are just songs that translate brilliantly to to a live setting. For example, there's nothing like dozens of people piling on top of each other against the stage, pumping their fists and screaming the words to "Cliche Guevara" at the top of their lungs or Bruce belting out that last line of HBTN.
