Best Crowd Singing/Live Performances

There's some instances where live music is made pretty awesome due to the crowd participation... I'll kick it off with this outstanding effort with The Killers but I'd like to hear others.

Good on you Glasgow.... Well played :cry:

Anytime Blind Guardian play anything. But in particular the Bards Song.

It's not "upbeat" awesome, but a great use of crowd singing

I came to post exactly this!

So I'll add, Iron Maiden's Fear of the Dark

No crowd reaction as such, but if you have never seen this 10 minute Live performance before, you owe it to yourself to see it at least once. You will find many people moved to tears online watching this.

Im not Welsh, i have no idea what they are signing, find national anthems uninteresting and think Rugby is an objectively awful sport... but this still gives me goosebumps

The studio take is amazing but I honestly find the heavily extended solos to Comfortably Numb to be pretty boring, because the chord sequence and tempo just don’t invite themselves to exciting guitar playing for such lengthy periods of time. The sequencing that makes the studio version so good just kind of gets lost.

I much prefer the solo-ing found on the live versions of Fat Old Sun. Which is probably because it has an unconventional chord sequence.

My suggestion for epic live moment with audience interaction would be Limp Bizkit’s cover of Thieves at Woodstock ‘99. An absolute car crash of a festival but… ooo boy does Fred Durst know how to get a crowd going.

The “all you people on this side…” parts are so goddamn awesome.

On a technical level absolutely I agree, on an emotional level I don't think Fat Old Sun comes anywhere close. The chords may be simple but the guitar is wailing, screaming and speaking to you on a level that I have rarely experienced.
