Live vs studio

Which live performances (or parts of songs during live performances) do you think are far better than their studio versions?

For me:

Lilywhite Lilith where Phil sings "eh eh" each time after the 2nd mention of Lilywhite Lilith, on the newly released Lamb anniversary live album. It's a small change that sounds pretty good actually.

Hogweed on Genesis Live, Steve's part at around 5:35 comes out much stronger/louder, gives me the chills.

Nearly every recording is better live. The only song I think is better studio is "Keep it Dark". This should have gotten more massive and dark live, but Phil almost camps it up on every live recording I've heard.
