Plus, by the time they retired from live performance, they had yet to write their best stuff (Note that, with the sole exception of "Paperback Writer," they didn't perform anything after Rubber Soul.)
Of course, there was one exception:

Woodstock or the Monterey Pop Festival. I grew up in the 70's when even a small venue like the Civic Center here in Huntsville had a dozen or so rock concerts every year. I probably attended 50 or 60 shows through the early 80's starting with The Guess Who in 72. The list of bands I saw back then starts with AC/DC and ends with ZZ Top, but I had to wait until later to see The Dead, Stones and Floyd. I wish I had caught The Beatles and Hendrix.

Woodstock, of course. How could I forget Woodstock?

The beastie boys would have been dope back in the old days, before they fell into political correctness.
Even after they fell into political correctness

The P-Funk all stars pyrotechnic shows must have been dope.

The Gorillaz live at the Apollo is insane.

Of course the Beatles Rooftop Performance wins though.

Uh, difficult! Many good ones are already mentioned. Zeppelin and Sabbath in the 70s for example, Hendrix... I'll add
- the scandalous premiere of The Rites of Spring
- Death, with Chuck still alive, maybe some of the later, proggier material

Any or are ones where robert plant remembers the words preferable?
For me? I'd take Rush, any date on the time machine tour. I'd like to see imagine dragons live too.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

That I would have liked to see. Jim Morrison pissed to his eyeballs, together with Jimmy Hendrix jamming.

Her, in the 70s as well I presume

I don't know any other breathtakingly effortless singer like her, and combined with the more nuanced arabic scales (compared to western chromatic) this is very intriguing.

I would love to go see anything at Copley Hall (SD Symphony) and Carnegie Hall (Handels Messiah). Not religious anymore but Christmas music gets me jazzed.
