By far Jennifer Holliday in Dreamgirls is the greatest Tony performance I've ever seen.
I also really enjoyed "Easy Street." It shows what a show stopper that number is when it's performed right. Actually, that entire "Annie" medley was pretty great.

The Ragtime performance gives me chills everytime I watch it. Also, the Scarlet Pimpernel performance was great!
are there any other links to any other tony performances?

Brent Barrett and Michale Jeter performing We`ll Take A Glass from Grand Hotel!!!!
RAGTIME was fantastic.
I'm surprised no one has said HAIRSPRAY. I had never seen the show before, and I thought Radio City was going to explode.
Edit: OOPS! Someone already said "Hairspray" Looks like I can't be original after all.
I would never want to detract from the genius that is Patti LuPone and I love that performance just as much as anybody else, but I think it's only fair to mention that the vocals were prerecorded for that performance. (In those days, I think all of the vocals were prerecorded for the performances...) It's still her, you know she can do it, but today's performers do not have that luxury.
I really liked Drowsy Chaperone!
I thought it was really amazing...
I loved Ragtimes performance. That show needs to be revived so I can see the thing as a whole.

Now I can add Jersey Boys and The Wedding Singer onto my list. I also love Avenue Q and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels performances.

I had goosebumps watching it.
The Wedding Singer - Fun, but not the BEST
The Rocky Horror Show - I loved it... it was also good fun
