Intro->Help->Slip->Franklin at Great American Music Hall (8.13.75) is sublime.

Spring '90 (East Coast) was perhaps the last great vintage run.

Man, now I'm hungry.
Can't spork, but any Dead anything from 1977 is a great answer.
I'd also co-sign the above mentions of the Allman Brothers 1970 Fillmore East concerts.
Likewise, Prince is way up on my list...the greatest live performance I ever saw, and there's not a close second.
One artist I've been lucky enough to see a number of times, whom I believe to be underrated as a live performer, is Willie Nelson. I don't think people realize what a great guitarist he is. A troubadour in the truest sense of the word.
