Bob Dylan- If You See Her Say Hello

Warren Zevon- Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner

It aint right-Chris cornell +Layne Staley
I am guessing you meant Alice In Chains' "Right Turn"? I think that's Cornell's 2nd best vocal performance. Only second to "Say Hello To Heaven" which would be on my songs that give me chill list.

- Derek, Duane, or Jack on "Dreams"
- Tedeschi Trucks Band on "Midnight in Harlem" - this is currently the best concert centerpiece out there
- Derek's solo on "Ain't Wasting Time No More"
- Anyone playing "Little Martha" or "Soul Serenade"
- "Albatross" by Fleetwood Mac
- I know a lot of people aren't fans of her, but Grace Potter's version of "I Shall Be Released" from Love for Levon has the chill factor
- There is an Ethipoian Jazz artist name Mulatu Astatqe, and his tune "Tezeta" is my ultimate stop everything and listen song -

Little Martha.
every time.

and anyone doing a good rendition of Amazing Grace.
and O Holy Night.


My gut-punch songs have always been:
Band -- It Makes No Difference
George Jones -- He Stopped Loving Her Today
Clapton -- Old Love (24 Nights)
I got that feeling the first several hundred times I listened to Duane's solo in the middle of You Don't Love Me.
And the first several hundred times I listened to Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad from the Fillmore East album. The Layla album version is a great GREAT rock song, but the Live version brings the mournful feel that there should be with the title and the lyrics -- in no small part due to Radle's wonderful bass playing.
Derek's solo during "The Sky Is Crying" is consistently emotionally sublime.
The latest thing to blow my mind emotionally was -- believe it or not -- Gary Clark, Jr.'s solo in "Please Come Home" from his LIVE album. There are a few notes and runs that are just perfect. I had just got the album, and was listening to it on my iPod early in the morning sitting on the beach, and that song came on and I heard the solo for the first time, and I must've re-wound it and listened to it over and over for at least a half-hour.
He's not the best guitar player ever, and please, I don't mean to make this a GCJ debate thread, but that solo really does it for me.

The ones that jump off the top of my head are:
Temple of the Dog "Say Hello to Heaven"
David Gilmour's solos in "Comfortably Numb"
John Hiatt's "Have A Little Faith In Me"

Nice! Those two do it for me, too. Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns also gets me, the original Andrew Wood version and the PJ version when they first started covering it. Speaking of PJ, any live version where the crowd sings along to 'Black'
Also for me:
Rainbow, Stargazer, especially the part 'there's a rainbow rising, look there on the horizon'
Beatles, Let It Be and Hey Jude
Led Zeppelin, the opening to Since I've Been Loving You
Traditional, A Closer Walk With Thee and I'll Fly Away
Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here. Warren's solo cover during the 10th anniversary Mule show in NOLA with the crowd sing along stands out.

That opening drum of Mountain Jam does it every time

I'm leaving out quite a few....

![]()
D-i-t-t-o
That B-flat, or whatever note Jimmy Page hits (am not a musician) during the chord change midway through Hats Off to Roy Harper gives me chills
So does the short, two-chord bridge midway through Amazing Journey
The insturmental solo guitar piece on Keith Secola's Circle album (unsure of song title) is guitar playing that for me is deeply emotional -- amazing, amazing
Also the start of Dickey Betts' solo in the studio version of NoBody Knows -- quiet -- then building up to a thing of powerful beauty

While most of those listed above still give me chills.
Holly Williams..."Waitin' on June" makes me cry every damn time.
I'm just an old softy I guess.

I don't know if I would call it chills, but "Mountain Jam" from @Fillmore East 3-13-71 is one of the most incredible rock songs ever. It is a masterpiece.

"The End" by the Doors. Ray Manzarek (RIP) never let anyone else ever sing that one cause it "Was Jim's song."

the only song that gives me chills is God rest his soul. All my other favorites give me the warm feeling of joy and comfort. Blue sky, Please call home, Captured, Jessica, almost any and all Allman brothers song. What gave me chills was walking into a venue and seeing all the allmans gear set up, the lights , the chrome shining, the king of instruments hammond B-3, and i really got chills when the lights went down and the band walked on stage in the darkness, anticipating the first notes. That always did it.

...not too many anymore but maybe;
Don't Keep me Wondering-Allman Bros
Black Dog- Zeppelin
Simple Man- Shinedown
Nightmare- Avenged (lately)

Townes Van Zandt - Marie
This one always bring tears to my eyes when I play it.
One of the most powerful songs ever ...
