It’s not quite the same but I like Daft Punk’s Alive 2007 as a mash up of their two albums. Nightwish’s Ghost Love Score and Green Day’s Jesus of Suburbia.

Josh Ritter's Kathleen performance from Live at the Iveagh Gardens has far and away subsumed the studio version for me. The original track is fine, I guess, but there's some kind of alchemy in that live performance that takes it from a kinda sleepy singer/songwriter ballad to a roots rock revival jam. Or something like that. Idk, I'm certainly no music critic, but I know which version I prefer.
