Awesome awesome thread, love all the videos.

The VH1 performances are incredible, so perfect.

Right now i really can't think of any favourite live performances of mine, but one thing I LOVE is the intro she started to play in White Houses some time ago. When I first watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLagLxL0dsI i almost died, the piano and the guitar... goosebumps and tears everywhere. (Do we have any other videos of white houses where they play the intro with guitar too?)

WOW.  Beautiful. She should do that every time

She's always been playing this intro since the HAT era.

Floating on the sea, stars are watching me. Currents take me out, what will be will be.

Really? She didn't play the extended intro of White Houses? That's curious.

No, I would have noticed that! I think there was a little, but nothing like that performance

She's also played it in the Harmonium era--not the same but similar.

On topic though:
My favorite performance has got to be this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMuWRz-_Lbs
There's something about it....

Really love Home, the lyrics and melody.The piano outro always gets me every time, beautiful.
Never too late to change the pace
oh how the days creep up on you
but the goodness is something you don't have to chase
cause its following you

I agree, but this is the most special for me.

My favorite live performance probably has to be More Than This in Seattle, 11-11-07.

Let's video isn't up anymore, but I found this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm0_0uL_S9E. I remember standing five feet from V with my peeps just taking in the moment. I'll never forget that night.

Other favorites:

-Who's To Say at The Roxy with the "they don't know who we are, who we are, who we are, who we are, we are, we are, we arrrreee" bit, 7-27-07.
-She Floats at Park West, 10-29-02.
-Fair Weather Friends at Hotel Cafe, 3-16-09.
-Private Radio, 3-10-05.
For all you broken hearted lovers lost, go find another one. 'Cause you know time won't wait and you'll be late, white rabbits on the run...

This is my favourite live performance. It is of 'Home'. The outro in this video is incredible and makes me shed a tear! I wish I could have been there!

When I was rediscovering Vanessa, All Is Well was one of the first tracks I came across on youtube and she won me over immediately with this performance  :)

Really love her talks before each song  :)

Thank you for sharing, I think I may I have to vote this as my favorite as well!

I love All Is Well and my favorite performance of the song is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVxWoXJLJBM

I know it's not the full song but I remember the way I felt when I first heard it. I was just mesmerized. Amazing.
Thanks, James.
