Man tough question, My all time favorite was 1977 Pink Floyd, this was before the split so it was the whole band, they played Animails and Wish you were here. With Money as the encore. Best show ever.
#2 1991 Eric Clapton my first front row show ever, George Harrison came out for the encore!
#3 The Wall LA Sports Arena February 1981
There's my top three.

Dont forget the "Us and Them" encore 
A bit surprising how often PF is popping up in this thread since they arent a "blues band" per se. Great writing (music and lyrics) transcends genre's.
Most inspiring guitarist: Ryan McGarvey
Most inspiring vocalists & performers (ladies first): Beth Hart, Layla Zoe, Ian Siegal, Mason Rack
Most inspiring bands: Mason Rack Band, Otis Taylor & Band
"most inspiring" kind of changes the list around a bit. Two that I was not present at are Queen Live at Wembley Stadium, and Joe RAH. The 3 I attended:
The Jazz Crusaders with Larry Carlton, circa '72 or '73
Linda Ronstadt opening for Neil Young (she stole the show, Neil was not so good that night), 1973
U2's Pop Mart Tour at the Superdome,LA 1998?

I'm excited that you remembered Tallan! AGT gave him such a run around, I refuse to watch. Roy introduced me to him when he was 8. And Roy, Hubert was a one of a kind. The man oozed love. NO ego. Sweet, sweet man

Remember him? Hell, I owe him bigtime! I was on google/youtube about 2 minutes after that AGT, had that first "Holy S**t" moment and that started this sweet obsession
Well it all comes around. His Dad, Carl was the first to post about him on the Joe Bonamassa Forum
I think the most inspiring concert I've been to was Gov't Mule in December 2005. Alvin Youngblood Hart joined them for the encore and they played Long Distance Call and Look On Yonder Wall. I sat there spellbound and that was the moment when my passion for Blues music started.
Inspiring .....
Well seeing Joe Live at The Royal Albert Hall was truly inspirational, watching Joe at that marvellous venue like a cat caught in the headlights and pushing on 11 with adrenilin and living the dream with Eric Clapton and coming out with a stunning high class emotional performance was No 1
No 2 .... Joe Live @ The Beacon Theater was for me the best ever show i've ever been to because it was for me Joe at his most agressive and animated and inspired himself by the guests he had that night (Nov 5th 2011 New York City) Beth John & Paul all brought thier A+ Game which in reply charged Joe and the band up several gears to an unbelievable live concert experience
Non Joe ones have been catching AC/DC as Ian said in the early days 1977/78 i caught them a few time in London at The Marquee and Hammersmith Odeon ..... Man they were so awesome live, electrically charged to say the least, so so powerful with Bon and Angus just everywhere with that buzzsaw Gibson SG wailing with crunching power, Live in those days they were unsurpassable, that was where the dropjaw look was invented
Iron Maiden .... with Paul D'ianno on vocal in 1980, you could see that this was no lightweight/gimmick metal band, with the original line up playing stuff from their first album and some sneaks from Killers, they were just awesome and the dual guitar leads were so in time ....
U2 live in Dublin at Mcgonagles off of Grafton street in 1979, at a club twice as small as The Borderline, about 40 people, think it was their 2nd ever real gig, £1 pound to get in ... they were young and still the same guys as now, but all like teenagers again you see and hear a clarity and punchy originality .... superb ( like to add i danced, jumped, and pogo'd with Bono arm in arm to support band ... incredible to think
Saw Queen with Freddie in 76 too, remember being blown away by the incredible sound by those 4 musicians in Hyde Park
there has been a few others but those are the truly memorable ones

!!COOL!!
I saw them around then opening for Judias Priest, who turned up late so Maiden did a longer set and destroyed the place. First Album was a stunner.
