Posted by Rich in Music

When a musician earns that moninker, 'iconic', it's often because of their charisma, their aesthetic, or their sheer musical talent as witnessed in their live performances, and often in just one or two especially legendary shows. For this bounty, we want you to show us the specific performances that sealed the legacy of iconic musicians, those special shows when they reached the apex of their talent, and the world couldn't look away.

Share third-party video links - ideally from official channels - to your nominated performance, and add a few sentences of your own commentary explaining why it is better than all the rest, and did more to seal your performer's iconic status.

For me it has to be Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli The Prayer.

2 iconic voices coming together to perform a magical song. They did this performance in Central Park back in 2011 and it’s become one of the most iconic performances of this song ever. A voice like Dions and Bocelli is so unmatched - no one can deny the pure talent these individuals have. A very simple performance but so so impactful!

Eric Johnson is well known in the guitar world, as is Cliffs of Dover. This is a song that is quite technical and very much a driving rock track, but manages to feel upbeat and optimistic by ditching the genre's typical minor key. This particular performance shows Johnson playing the song flawlessly, as well as an additional intro that's not on the studio recording but does an excellent job building anticipation for the main event. And all the while, the rest of the band on stage look like they're having the time of their lives.
