Stevie Ray Vaughan “Riviera Paradise” always brings tears to my eyes.

 

[JonUrban]

I used to love the music rush I would get from being at a concert long ago (before cell phones and fans who'd rather talk to each other than listen to the artist) and the performer would play a song that was special to me in one way or another. It didn't matter if I'd heard it too many times or if I even still played it a lot. Just hearing that opening line or intro sometimes would send a shiver right down my spine, literally.

It's hard to get that feeling these days, but I am sure that you've all experienced it at one time or another. You really can't explain it either, and it doesn't always happen with the same song, it's just that convergence of thought and mind and performance. Very cool.

It might sound a bit cliche but Imagine does it to me every time.

This one has grabbed me by the balls on more than one occasion.
You would have to have a heart of cold steel, not to feel the raw emotion being expressed by Sinead.

Aqualung - The My God (Early Version) bonus track in 5.1 is where wow is not enough. MY GOD!

 

[jsrstereo]

"Holy River" by Space Opera. The whole song is electric 12-string nirvana - but the instrumental intro thru your SM decoder will kill you. Turn it up, at your peril.

the emotions of a break up

 

[Marplot]

Sorry, my breakups have been more in this vein.

 

[Jim the Oldbie]

Ooh! One more. This one went tragically unnoticed a few years back. Simple but dangerously good, with one of the most perfect little guitar solos I've ever heard:



(There's a long, besotted entry in the Comments section that explains this song better than I can, heh.)

 

[cbmmm3]

all right. lets put this out there. for those of us who grew up in the Midwest in the 70s / 80s. Neil on the Hammond. Gary on the Rickenbacker. And me on body rush

Exquisite performance - just over the moon

Careful With That Axe Eugene definitely one of my favs to play as loud as possible with as many speakers as possible, all versions: studio single, Electric Moo, zabriskie point, Pompeii and KQED performances probably my favorite song after Piper album, also intro to Atom Heart Mother from KQED, basically the whole performance actually, except Set The Controls(which is better on the Pompeii show). Jimi Hendrix Woodstock versions of Love Theme, Jam at the House, Voodo child, The Who 1969 London Coliseum show(first live performance of Tommy) these shows are burned onto my soul.

I could go on and on and on with this thread...lol.......here is one that gives me a rush due to the pure emotion in a live performance

Dumb by Gazpacho



Waiting to Happen by Marillion with Steve Hogarth

 

[bluelightning]

Exquisite performance - just over the moon

Brings back a lot of memories. What a beautiful song!

 

[bluelightning]

Now one from Porcupine Tree that I listen to when I am down.

 

[Jim the Oldbie]

Great thread!! May I offer a few? Elton John’s “Come Down In Time”
https://www.google.com/search?q=come down in time

Yes! Such a quiet tune, with such cinematic imagery! Beautiful.

and his “Where To Now St. Peter?”
https://www.google.com/search?q=where to now st peter

"Where To Now St. Peter" is also well-placed in the album's running order - the perfect Side 2 lead-in track.

 

[gvl_guy]

Two come to mind for me, besides that Sinead O'Connor.
I have no idea why this song always moved me. Michael Penn


And Fleetwood Mac. I know Stevie Nicks is amazing, but Christine McVie always moved me more. Kind of haunting voice in this.

 

[atlantasteve]

There is something about this suite that makes me tingle, scream and everything in between. And it’s in Quad, 5.1 and Steven Wilson remix!
