I've been to so many amazing shows, it's hard to pick my favorites, but I'll try 
Muse at Mandalay Bay in Vegas a year ago:
Ben Folds Five at the Greek last June:
Metallica at Outside Lands in 2012. The great things about this were a. they're in San Francisco, and they always rock their hometown, and b. They only played two of their newer songs. Kept it almost completely old school. Also, my dad took me to my first show when I was 12- it was The Cult opening for Metallica- so I'm sentimental
The Dead Weather at House of Blues San Diego a couple of years ago (I'm in love with Alison Mosshart):
Phoenix at the pool at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas last October. The great thing about this one is the venue. The pool at the Cosmo is outside on the third floor, and you have about a 240 degree view of the strip. I'm not a huge fan of Young the Giant, but I have tickets to see them at the Cosmo in a month because I love the venue so much:
String Cheese Incident at Rothbury Music Festival (now called the Electric Forest) in Michigan in 2009:
The Hives at House of Blues Anaheim (I was actually at the performance in San Diego, but I didn't like any of the vids from it). As it happens, my friend's band opened for them on several dates:
That's all for now, but I've probably been to a thousand shows over my lifetime.
How did I forget the Black Keys at Indy jam a few years ago? Yikes! This one was right down the street from where I live:
