Every so often, a live recording of a song captures a performance of such exhilaration, feeling and spontaneity that no amount of studio virtuosity can possibly eclipse it.
A handful of such live recordings have become hit songs: Folsom Prison Blues (1968) by Johnny Cash; Crossroads by Cream (1968); Show Me The Way (1976) by Peter Frampton and I Want You To Want Me (1979) by Cheap Trick.
