Last time you felt that "tingling" sensation?

We've all experienced it (and this is in the context of listening to music). Name the song/track/moment when you last got goosebumps listening to music. For bonus points, tell us where you were and what system you were listening to. Here's mine:

Song: "Hotel California" from "When Hell Freezes Over" (live version)
Where: In my listening/living room
On What: Levinson 390S driving Levinson 436 monos into Wilson Sasha's via Transparent cabling
Exact moment: when that kick drum starts slamming in that piece, it was utterly amazing

My goosebump performances are the Dutchess's lament in Marriage of Figaro... and The song his wife sings when the King awakens at the end of Orff's Die Kluge'
Both love songs.

Madeline Peyroux singing Dance Me to the End of Love written by Leonard Cohen. A song about a trust that goes from here to the end. I still get goosebumps every time I really listen.
Also Jennifer Warnes singing The Ballad of the Runaway Horse again by Leonard Cohen on Duets by Rob Wasserman and on Famous Blue Raincoat. It's not about a horse. Also on the Raincoat album, A'int No Cure for Love.
In classical, The Goldberg Variations of Bach by Murray Perahia and Solvig's Song by Grieg and A Lark Ascending by Von Williams and Hilary Hahn... and more.
I'm a sucker for goosebumps.

Eva Cassady coming in on the vocal on "Let the Good Times Roll," with Chuck Brown. Yikes, Placed that bit 30 times in a row. Makes up for a lot of fiddling with gear. John
