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.
Watch the video with headphones. His facial expressions match.
Nirvana's Unplugged in New York album is, in my opinion, as close to perfect as it gets.
Mine is Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City. Someone showed me that as an introduction to Dave Matthews and it was right when I was getting into playing guitar and I was awestruck! Watched the whole thing in one sitting and then learned several of the songs over the next few months.
