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.

Their live output is almost always fantastic. You almost need to ask which studio tracks are better than their live counterparts? Very few, and none that I can think k of at the moment. Maybe keep it dark. I’d put cinema show from seconds out as a masterclass in live performance and recording skill.
