The Wonder Years is actually going through reruns right now, and I used to love that show, especially the later years. I don't remember a live version being used, but they did have copyright issues iirc and had to change the opener before they could release the DVD box sets.

Huge fan, but the audio for this video isn't live I'm pretty sure.
There's a lot of visible instrumentation (ie the percussionist) that isn't in the audio mix. Also the vocal syncing is off from the recording. If anything it sounds like a slightly equalized/effect modded version of the OG recording (bass pumped a bit, some reverb added, maybe a bit mid-scooped) layered over live footage.
EDIT:
Here's the live audio for that video

How is Phil Collins not in here yet? Drums are incredible here. This guy is unreal.
I hadn’t seen this video it’s awesome. This song is forever connected to watching that Miami Vice episode for me. That was such groundbreaking TV at the time.
Genesis has always been one of my favourite bands. The album A Trick of the Tail is fantastic.
The soundtrack he did for the animated Tarzan movie is also one of my favourites.
As much as he may be an unlikeable guy, his talent is undeniable.
Can't find actual video of the event, just this audio, but this is one live performance I was at that will always stand out to me.
Radiohead and REM played a 2 night back to back concert in Vancouver in 2003, with some other bands like Wilco and I can't remember exactly who else.
Michael Stipe came out to sing on Karma Police, and then the next night Thom Yorke came out to sing on E-Bow the Letter and It's the End of the World with REM.
Seeing 2 of your favourites playing together like that is such an amazing experience.
Pretty sure I’ve posted this before but the energy in the video is just insane. Imagine it live.

I'm not even a particularly big Doobie Brothers fan, but this is one of my faves:
A great display of musical mastery displayed by pretty much everyone there...from conga guy going to town, effortless guitars, and Cornelius Bumpus (what a name!) with the triple threat of voice, sax, and keys. Everyone is just owning their role to the max. It's the kind of talent that makes me think the scorn for a lot of modern music is justified.
Also:
Funnily enough, I kind of hate U2, but this performance of theirs is perhaps my hilight of Live Aid. The atmosphere, the slow build up, Bono's back and forth with the audience, and eventual disappearance while other bandmates are left wondering what happened...it's all pretty great.
