Here's a couple of live performances that I like where the drummers really steal the show.

Not sure if this fits but it's definitely the drummer making it happen.

Levon Helm was just so damn cool.


Amazing to see someone play drums (keep the beat) and sing lead, as Levon Helm does here.

The Band actually had two drummers: Helm and Richard Manuel, who took over when Helm quit the band for a short period (just before or doing the time they did Music from Big Pink, after which they were famous in their own right, and not just as Dylan's electric band).

The video shows Robbie Robertson pretending to be one of the singers (he was not)--especially notable near the end of the song. He is effectively lip-synching on stage.
