Are we talking the greatest live song or the greatest live performance here?
I would have to say this one qualifies as a contender for both.

Is this the best Live Song Ever

I've decided that you are all wrong.
I read Live as Love, he he he!
Magic
This was fairly mental.
Probably one of the most under-rated voices in the soul/R'n'B and dare I say Rock world of all time, Terence Trent D'arby, now under a new name Sananda Maitreya had a string of hit pop singles such as 'Sign Your Name' and 'If You Let Me Stay' but ultimately never made it as he was expected too. He once declared his album 'The Hardline According to Terence Trent D'arby' was: "The Most important album since the Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club." He was wrong, but we can forgive him for being a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime considering his voice.
Agreed, very underrated and an amazing voice! 'If you let me stay' is a great track.
Some of my favourite live performances... watch the John Martyn one! Double-bass solo!
John Martyn - 'Solid Air'
James Dean Bradfield - 'Baby Elian' (live in Cuba):
...and the worst live performance... I love how they all bow at the end...

What was wrong with that performance of 4:33? It was note-perfect, a faultless rendition.
My only complaint is the typeface that the notation was written in.
I always wonder whether there is something almost Tourettes Syndrome-like about the audience response to this situation. Had the orchestra been playing another piece would there have been quite so much necessity for people to clear their throats and sneeze?

What do you guys prefer more, a great live performance by the artist, or a great crowd atmosphere?
Some real talent.........
I almost always wish every other member of the crowd would have stayed at home, so I'll go with the performance by the artist.
Everything from that concert in Rio was up there with the best live performances I've ever seen. Personally I prefer Run to the Hills and Fear of the Dark over this one though. Especially the crowd's input in Run to the Hills was really impressive.
This one was the first one that popped into my head when I saw the thread title. Gets me goosebumps everytime I watch it.
A lot of classical music is also great to see live, especially orchestral and choral stuff:
Nobody should miss this performance.
Amazing.
As King_Eric mentioned, I could pretty much have posted any video from that concert. So good!
Point in fact:
I remember seeing a performance of Knocking on Heaven's Door by Guns N Roses that was around nine minutes long, and had Slash playing acoustic guitar and a piano solo. I think it was from Venezuela in 1992, but I've not been able to find it since
Anyways, first is Gotthard - Hush, featuring the late Steve Lee on vocals
Second is Blind Guardian - Valhalla. The crowd singing from 4.50 onwards is amazing
