Am I the only one who doesn't like the Slipped Away performance in Budokan? Sounds really off-note to me. She does miss some notes there and you can hear fatigue in her voice but IMO the reason I and probably others love it is because it's so vulnerable and stripped down, with just her voice and the piano. To me just having the piano there makes the song more raw and emotional.
The way she sings "clearly" is really disturbing.
In the past I used to skip right to the part where she starts to sing "I've had my wake up, won't you wake up, I keep asking why." Though I wasn't fond of the first half of the performance, I loved the latter half.

Two come up in my mind immediately:
I just really love her fragile side here. And how she goes high so gently.
This is probably her best performance of all times, I love love love how she's losing herself:
Oh, and of course this:

When it comes to Avril's cover of Knocking on Heaven's Door, I used to listen to only her 2004 live performance in Seoul.
Didn't like the studio version.

For me it would definitely be '17'! It sounds so much better live with the band and everything

Budokan's Unwanted is AWESOME. Much more better than the studio version. And the acoustic HTNGU live she did with Evan and Devin is flawless. Her voice is choppy/scratchy or what and I just love it.

I liked her live version of Hush Hush on the AL tour. And she was really cute doing Bad Girl down in Brasilia. Quite entertaining.

Ugh I hated that performance. You can tell she was probably sick or something and needed to clear her throat the entire time, which she actually did at the end. I just found it annoying the whole time. I've actually never liked any of the live performances of HTNGU, acoustic or full band. It's way too auto tuned and produced to sound decent live.

Let Go is way better live... sounds more "rockish/grungy" Some of the tracks of UMS are better the studio version, because the live version sounds... softie (Forgotten, Together, Don't tell Me...) but others are better on the live version TBDT sounds better on the studio version... the instrumentals are louder and agressive

The studio versions of I Can Do Better and I Don't Have to Try are better than the live ones.

Interesting. I've never liked the song, but as her acoustic performances go, I think that's one of her best.
