Songs that IMPROVED with live treatment

Going to go a little leftfield here, but Like a Virgin.

I can't stand the album version, but every live performance is amazing and she really, clearly, deeply understands and loves the song. It works brilliantly in every incarnation, every reimagining. It's a testament to great writing but also to M's relationship to it as well.

I also love the way the song has gained it's own mythology. I am still in awe of the way the MDNA performance used the power of the previous performances of the song to subvert M's iconography and present her in a new light.

Do I need to remind everyone that the live version of "Dress You Up" -- the Virgin Tour version -- has that orgasmic spoken intro "IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT...DON'T BE AFRAID, IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT...IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT...".

You, motherfuckers, really.
