Probably a three way tie among:

Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York

Portishead - Roseland NYC Live

Dave Matthews Band - The Central Park Concert

I also have a soft spot for The Complete Monterey Pop Festival

Kurt's vocal on Where Did You Sleep Last Night is one of the most visceral things I've ever heard. Get that on through decent headphones and you'll never listen to it the same way again. That breath he takes before the last lines is absolutely haunting.
