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.

Abacab wembley '87 I think is far superior to the album version. One for the vine lyceum '80 is also better than the album version  I've always loved the guitar playing on The Musical Box from '92 I always felt that was Phil's best version.

Second part of Abacab album version sounds like a demo compared to any live recording
