This performance of While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Prince is incredible.

I have to second Prince’s guitar on “while my guitar gently weeps.” Phenomenal.
Also the Talking Heads’ “stop making sense” concert film is very well done:
Damn, Prince's solo was epic!
Melt-Banana at the Knitting Factory, 2007. Melt-Banana is my favorite band in the world, and this isn't the best audio, but it REALLY captures the feel of the live performance. (I was at this show. I'm the guy with dreads in the front row directly in front of the cameraman.)

Nina Hagen, 1985. Favorite performance by my favorite singer:

Aretha Franklin, Amsterdam 1968:
ABBA at Wembley
Also, Simon & Garfunkel at Central Park
Off the top of my head: Parliament Funkadelic - The Mothership Connection, Live In Houston 1976.
That's my go to. An amazing show and never fails to get me in a good mood or cheer me up. Parliament Funkadelic is magic.
More recently, The Dø there is something really special about this performance. This version of Hangover is much better than the recorded version in my opinion.
All of the Blogotheque videos are pretty incredible, something for almost anyone to find compelling.
Ooh I really like this one and the Le Lab Virgin Radio one, especially Opposite Ways. So much better than the album versions.
Jaqueline du Pre playing the Elgar Cello Concerto is at the top of my list

Axl Rose stage diving because someone was trying to film or photograph the show.

Dude would be exhausted trying this nowadays lol
John Farnham - Help. This guy is a household name in Australia, but almost unknown abroad. In this clip, he's just given a Three hour, high energy concert and is called out for an encore. He performs this.
It's a candidate for the best cover - ever.
Victor Wooten - You Can't Hold No Groove
This video Playing Wrong Notes is also pretty great, he talks about and demos improvising in the moment.
Also:
Quieter than Silence are sublime, they have several shows on Youtube and they're all different with different guest musicians and they're all amazing.
and
Özgür Baba - Dertli Dolap, Çay Taşıand this full show: at the Franciscan Church.
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
