Favorite rendition of a song
There have been a few threads asking what you are listening to and such. This one is a bit different. What I want to know is if you find a particular rendition of a song is the best you've heard post it.
It's not necessarily your favorite song, and it may be the original artist. I would prefer songs that more than one artist has recorded though.It may take a village to raise a child, but it only takes one child to raze a village.

My favorite performance of Coheed & Cambria's song Neverender was at the Terminal 5 on their Neverender tour.
YouTube - Neverender: Neverender by Coheed and Cambria (Night I)
Best rendition of that song by far.

One of few covers that I like more than the original:
YouTube - TOOL- No Quarter (Alex Grey Art)
Another cover that is better than original:
YouTube - Tool- You Lied
Best rendition of one of my favorite songs of all time (Horrible sound quality on this one, do yourself a favor and buy the PULSE DVD):
YouTube - Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Pulse 1994 (Live)
There are many others that I am thinking of, but this thread could go on awhile

Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, and I've heard at least 4 different artist's versions. Also Imagine by Our Lady Peace (original was Lennon IIRC, never heard the original tho), Con Te Partiro by Andrea Bocelli IIRC (they did a spanish version in the movie stepbrothers, and another one in South Park by Kenny. Obviously the south park one wasnt that good being muffled
) Other than old-old stuff, Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm, Micheal Jackson does the original.

Actually, there are very few songs that I like the cover versions or even live versions from the original artist. Guess I'm just a studio album kinda guy...

A few more that I just remembered:
Sugar Ray -- Abracadabra, originally by Steve Miller
Dope -- Like a Record, originally by Dead or Alive
A Tout Le Monde -- Megadeth w/ Cristina Scabbia, originally by Megadeth
Boston -- The Star Spangled Banner, originally by Francis Scott Key
Alien Ant Farm -- Smooth Criminal, originally by Michael Jackson
Van Halen -- You Really Got Me (with eruption intro), originally by The Kinks
[EDIT]
Decided to separate this from the others since it is torturous to listen to but also hilarious:
Dave Grohl -- With Arms Wide Open, originally by Creed
and staying on the topic of torture:
Alanis Morissette - My Humps, originally by Black Eyed Peas

YouTube - Neverender: Mother Superior by Coheed and Cambria (Night IV)
The electric guitar intro makes the song sound so much darker than the acoustic Claudio used in the studio - it really adds a lot to the performance.
YouTube - Rush - Natural Science 10-13-2002
Fantastic performance of Natural Science (my favorite Rush song).
