Yup, it's all about the performance. I'm sick of this song, but I've watched this performance at least a dozen times and get a lump in my throat every time.

 

 

Wow !  that performance of Stairway to Heaven certainly put a lump in my throat the 4 times I just listened to it . Great Performance

I happen to like the show The Masked Singer , been watching it since it first aired  .

This video / song I'm posting  here also put a lump in my throat . Yet it is total opposite of your vid

It's pretty much all voice till the end ...the vocal inflections got me to lump up in my throat

Without song - THE MILITARY BAND OF THE ROYAL SCOTS DRAGOON GUARDS - AMAZING GRACE (1972)

There's lots of versions but the original is still the best. https://youtu.be/KVjftQZ9jHA

If you dislike bagpipes there will not be any goosebumps compared to me that like them and turns into a snivelling idiot with goosebumps each time i listen to them. ?

 

For some reason bagpipes have always attracted me too, maybe it´s the rawness & a sense of "back to mankind´s roots", just maybe or because I was brought up with swedish folkmusic around me a lot of the time, or maybe I just Am a bit odd.

Apart from most of the already mentioned tunes Hendrix´ Bold as love (especially the outro solo), Where Were You(Jeff Beck), Nazareth´s Please Don't Judas Me to mention a few.

Ripples by Genesis - specifically the version on Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited II album with lead vocals by Amanda Lehmann. A truly incredible and completely perfect blend of menace and vulnerability and a massive improvement on the Phill Collins original.

Gives me spine tingles every time.

In no particular order:

- Uli Roth's Sky Overture.

- Devin Townsend's Why.

- The '96 G3 version of Steve Vai's For The Love of God.

- Faith No More's cover of This Guy is In Love With You.

- The final solo on Dream Theater's Octavarium.

- Tommy Emmanuel's Old Photographs.

- Jon Gomm's Passionflower.

- Racer X's Viking Kong.

- Symphony X's Charon

- Joe Satriani's Premonition

- Camel's Dust and Dreams, Harbour of Tears and Rajaz.

- Gentle Giant's Three Friends.

- Genesis' Cinema Show.

That's what comes to mind.

Eric Clapton's "Let It Rain" when the outro lead takes a pause, then comes back in at the 3:47 mark. To me that is the best lead ever played in Rock-N-Roll history. The tone, the feel, the phrasing, all the way to the end of the song. I remember hearing it for the first time, I was floored. Still get chills when I hear it today.

Comfortably Numb, There Goes My Hero, Foo Fighters (Foo doesn't have a chance) Living Years Mike and the Mechanics. The first time I heard it I was in a store and I had no idea who it was and couldn't make out any of the words and I still got big tears in my eyes. Keep me in your heart for a While Warren Zevon The  last part of Mountain Jam Allman Brothers on Eat A Peach. Duane's playing is beyond words. On The Turning Away Pick Floyd   Brothers In Arms gets me every time. So does What's Goin On by Marvin Gaye. I think its a Vietnam war thing for those 2.
