Default Best performances of 80s/90s songs in the new millennium

Hi guys! I was wondering, what are the best versions of 80s/90s songs that were performed from the Crush Tour through to the present-day era?

Here's a few performances that I love and I think are great for the time periods:


These Days from Bremen 2000 - really good vox by Jon

https://youtu.be/ROEd-CM4K80?t=2554

Bed of Roses from the same show (Bremen 2000). Jon really goes for the final chorus and brings back his 90s voice. The whole show is great - way better than Zurich.


Hey God from Barcelona 2008. This one really surprised me. Jon gives his all and sings the song convincingly. Definitely one of the best from the 2000s.

Interested in everybody's picks!

Their best Runaway performance was (for me) in Toronto 2010. Well-paced (many in the last decade were just too slow) and good energy:

Wow - that Damned performance is awesome and Something To Believe In was great!

If Jon still sounded like that nowadays - it would be gold!

This is probably the only time they performed a full version of this song after the TD tour but it's still really good, the only problem with it is the guitar solo which is done by Bobby...



On this one Jon really has a blast after the guitar solo!

I love that performance, Richie's electric guitar cutting in near the end is amazing!

Agreed. That was the most intense post-2000 performance. I had the luck to witness it in person and was stunned when Jon went up and belted out "I got nothing to prove...". Wasn't expecting it
