Golden Earring's 1977 live cover of the Byrds' "Eight Miles High" is the definitive version.  It does a lot more in 10 minutes than their studio version did in 19 minutes (on their 1969 album).



"Golden Earring Live" is my favorite live album by the way.

Yeah, the studio overdubs on Yessongs really gives it that "wish you were there" feel LOL
What?

Yessongs (surprise!)

The only songs on there I don't prefer to the studio versions are And You And I and Roundabout; ironic because if you're ever able to SEE them live, AYAI is probably the best experience.

I also prefer the live versions of Triumvirat's songs from Spartacus, "The Capitol Of Power", "The Deadly Dream Of Freedom", and "The March To The Eternal City" recorded live in Los Angeles in '75. They were remastered quite nicely and put as bonus tracks on Friday Music's reissue of Spartacus on CD. The band play incredibly tight, and The Deadly Dream Of Freedom has some tastefull six-string guitar soloing not on the studio version.

I have these versions on the Diamond Hard Blue Apples Of The Moon and mediocre sound quality aside, I think a lot of songs from that area were better on there than on Nice.
 
For sure these are really good and interesting suggestions! I'm looking forward to dig The Nice albums, but these with the participation of Keith Emerson are a must!!

Lots of Pink Floyd
Genesis Suppers ready on seconds out is amazing, although the studio remains my all-time fav.
The Closet Chronicles live version on The Best of Kansas is far superior to the original.

I prefer Tarkus from Welcome Back My Friends to the studio version.

This, especially the wonderous version of Aquatarkus.
Also Take a Pebble from the same album.

plus
Everything on Genesis Live.
"In The End" and "By-Tor and the Snow Dog" from Rush's "All the World's a Stage"

 
Thanks for the suggestions!! I'd like to add to these pearls above, the just wonderous performance of the awesome song PIRATES live at the Royal Albert Hall - what a show!!! I'm totaly overwhelmed by the fantastic ELP !!

Many Steven Wilson's live performances of his songs in Get All You Deserve are better than their studio versions.

Pretty much everything in Kansas' Two For The Show, the band sounds so tight and energetic. And because they had Livgren as a 'joker' who could switch between guitar and keyboards depending on the song, they could sound really full (frequently a problem for bands having a very rich sound in studio is that they could not replicate it live, e.g. Queen).

Roxy Music – Several tracks from “Viva!” blow their studio counterparts right out of the water. On second thought, make that all of them!

Kate Bush – The four tracks from her On Stage EP, especially James and the Cold Gun and Them Heavy People.

Steve Hillage – Some of the tracks on Live Herald, especially Light in the Sky with its uncredited Close Encounters tag.

Steve Hackett – There was a live version of Air Conditioned Nightmare which was on a 12” single of Cell 151. Just ridiculously good.

Camel – Several songs on Pressure Points, especially the ones originally on Stationary Traveller (title track, West Berlin, Fingertips, etc.)
Caption: We tend to take ourselves a little too seriously.

Silly human race! Yes is for everybody!

Actually, that's the version of the album I have and the only one I know. I do enjoy it a lot, but I don't feel the need to go and get the original studio version, it sounds just fine the way it is on "a live record".
