Foo Fighters - 2007 House of Blues after Katrina
They had JUST released ESPG and opened with "Let It Die" which I hadn't heard yet. The buildup was the biggest rush I've ever felt at a concert. The whole place almost teared up after Best of You. Great night, was 2-3 rows back of the stage.

My problem answering your question is that I want to answer it in several ways.
The most amazing live act I ever saw was Deep Purple when it was Blackmore, Gillan, Lord, Paice and Glover. Every song they played was familiar, but at the same time unique. The songs were played according to a predetermined structure, but all of the solos were extemporaneous, and lasted as long as the soloist wanted. If you watch YouTube videos, or listen to live recordings, of them you will notice that the song lengths were never the same, and they could vary drastically.
The best concert I attended was a Day on the Green at the Oakland Coliseum. It was Peter Frampton, Fleetwood Mac, Gary Wright and UFO. Musically, it was not the best, but it was the best because of the people I was with and the atmosphere.
The best concert I saw for musicianship in a club is a toss up. Nils Lofgren at the Old Waldorf and Roy Buchanan at the Great American Music Hall. The best concerts for having a good time were seeing Mojo Nixon and Dash Rip Rock on several occasions.

She opened that tour at the Varsity (Baton Rouge). A top 10 concert for me for sure.

Little Feat on the Riverboat President for Jazz Fest in 1988.
man I haven't thought about that show in years...I was there too and you are right, it was incredible
the president was such a great spot to see a show. Another good one I saw there was robert cray
Best show I ever saw though was Neil young at the worlds fair amphitheater in 1984

Fandango 1975, City Park Stadium in New Orleans. ZZ Top was headline (their tour) with Aerosmith, Jeff Beck and Fleetwood Mac. Rained like crazy but was fun experience, awesome music and special scene.

I was able to see one of my favorite bands, Gene, with about 25 other people in Boston about 12 years ago for $10. The best part about it was that the band played like it was for thousands, and the fans were lovin' it all.

I have a few that are close, the first for the actual concert and the second and third for the overall experience.
1. Worked in music during college and had an early promo for this band. Thought they were pretty awesome, and I got some tickets from a rep to see them at the Municipal Auditorium. They were the opening act of a three band set. My buddies wanted to get drunk in the parking lot and skip the opening act because "the opening act usually sucks anyway". Said no f'ing way, these guys are good.
The headliner was RHCP and they played damn near their entire catalog, they even played Yertle the Turtle! Second act was Smashing Pumpkins and they were ok. Not one of their better performances, but still really good.
Opening act was Pearl Jam.
2. Jimmy Buffett at Tad Gormley. Great show, kind of a festival and a wierd mix of artists. Michael McDonald and Little Richard were part of the line up. I'm a Parrothead, so seeing JB is always great, but for this one we actually sailed from Mandeville to Pontchartrain YC and then had amazing sex on the boat all night after the show. Sailed home the next day.
3. Another JB show. Got a tip that Jimmy would be playing an unannounced gig at Margaritaville before Jazz Fest. Figured out the night that we thought it would be; guessed right. They stopped admitting people before he came on, so there were no more than 120 people or so and he played an awesome set. Was able to just go to the bar, grab a drink, walk back to the stage and make song requests with my favorite artist of all time.

Rolling Stones Steel Wheels Tour concert in the Superdome. Was in graduate school at Tulane at the time and had just taken the hardest test of my life that day. Went and celebrated that night with Mick and the boys! The Stones started the show with a huge explosion before "Start Me Up". A friend of mine who was in the front row said he couldn't hear anything the rest of the night.
