There's too many good ones to pick favourites. Festivals are generally better than shows, thats about all I can bout that.

It's funny, because I always thought my favorite shows would come from my favorite bands. But that's not true. One of the best shows I ever saw was Battles. I love the band, but not my favorite. Also, Dr. John with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The Oddities Tour: New Orleans Bingo Show, followed by Gogol Bordello, right into Primus. That might actually be the top on my list.

My favorite band! I would've said a Primus show but I've seen them 7 times and I can't really pick a best one.

Ghostland Observatory at Electric Forest while on Acid for the first time. I had taken 2 WOW Tabs and this set was around Midnight I believe. It was incredible. There were swaying tall trees, a cool night breeze, ribbons of light/color transforming the sky above us, and plenty of good company. People would walk by unaware of who was performing, and for the most part, stop and check out the vast stimulation that was coming from the main stage.
It was

I think DJ Shadow at Bonnaroo a loooong time ago is at my top stop. Followed by Pnuma Trio at Rothbury (best festival I've been to) and 3rd spot could go to anything, STS9, bonobo, shpongle probably at some point or many local drum & bass shows stand out.

Im sure my first festival will trump this but...
Deadmau5 at Red Rocks in Colorado was amazing. Everyone was packed three deep in the bottom half of the ampitheatre. Pretty sure everyone had scrapes on the back of their calves from the stone.
Looked a little bit like this:

I've gotta say Tool.
But then again, the last tour Danzig did....he busted out with Doyle (devilock, facepaint and all) and played a set of misfits songs. I've always had the regret of not being able to see the misfits, and I got a little taste.
It was fucking awesome, he didn't half-ass it at all. Most memorable show for me.
Against Me! always does a good show too.
Got to see the Cramps, Crass and the Exploited too....okay sorry I couldn't just name one.

Seen alot of people saying Tool. Definitely like to see them at some point.
For me, they've all been such unique experiences.
My first festival was at a nudist village out in the middle of nowhere. Old movie props everywhere, bed of nails, a foam pit, and some really cool bands. Also some good L and mushrooms. Really cool small close knit feel.
Shpongle at a small venue/dive bar was pretty amazing. Everyone was hanging out front just in full weirdness that we are. Ice cream man selling lsd. Met lots of cool people. Then inside just pure dance music liberation. Outside after the show had some really profound experiences with connecting with people and some dj with like eight eyes playing weird beyonce remixes.
Consider the source campground set at Aura was breathtaking. Those guys are so in the moment, spontaneous but all togeather, it was really eye opening. Saw them while coming up on some bitter liquid (nbome...maybe)
Many other shows, all tell their own unique tale.

Oh yeah that is one I forgot about, Radiohead at Bonnaroo... 06? They said it was their best/favorite show they've ever done and I'd have to agree - it was reallllly creepy at times in a really good way!

Yep, that was amazing. I was really impressed.
It was great at the time, but I sorta assumed all the drugs had something to do with it. It was cool to learn later on that the band thought it was great too.

Suicidal Tendencies at the Electric Banana in Pittsburgh. 1987 , 300 some people in a bar the size of a house. A close second would be Painted Willie , Gone and Black Flag circa 1988.

This.
Hell, even artists I've seen multiple times, tend to put on a much better show for festivals.
