Anything by the Beatles after they stopped playing live.

GNR - don’t damn me

Also don’t think that Gamma ray never played Armageddon live?

oh, and also anything by Burzum, Darkthrone and Bathory :S
 
Scorpions - Sails of Charon; Evening Wind; Crying Days; Living And Dying.... Scorps had so many good songs from the 70s
Queen - Show Must Go On; Innuendo; if we include songs not played in full "The March Of The Black Queen"
Alter Bridge - All Ends Well; Clear Horizon; Walking On The Sky;
Led Zeppelin - The Rover; Houses Of The Holy
AC/DC - Overdose
 
"A Day In The Life," by The Beatles
[drops mic and struts away in triumph...]
*Spambot stands up, starts clapping slowly but loudly.
And yes, this:
Anything by the Beatles after they stopped playing live.
I don't think people realize how much of a material there is in between their tour in '66 and rooftop performance in '70. You could make a killer setlist just out of those 4 LP-s: Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, White Album and Abbey Road (and Yellow Submarine if you want to include it).
 
AC/DC - Gimme A Bullet
Bruce Dickinson - Freak
Halford - She
Judas Priest - Before The Dawn
Megadeth - I Thought I Knew It All

I assume you're talking about The Rover, never played live in full. I believe the riff was played in some Whole Lotta Love jam sessions on stage
I meant both of them. Two of the strongest songs on the album, and easily the two most accessible. I'd call that a missed opportunity.
