Nice, a big list and a varied one at that! All the way from Buckethead to R.E.M., cool... Way more than I have seen, good job Bro!
The best show I've seen is U2 during the 80's (War Tour) at the Orlando Jai Alai Fronton... Small setting, was right up front and the Irish lads were in their prime. New Years Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday... cranked and Bono waving the White Flag..

i always think about what my favorite show has been, and 4 keep popping up.

R.E.M. in 1995 during the Monster Tour @ MCI Center, Washington, DC

David Gray in 1999 @ 9:30 Club, Washington, DC

Dave Matthews Band in 1998 @ Walnut Creek, Raleigh, NC

O.A.R. in 2002 @ Patriot Center, Washington, DC

I guess I would have to go with the R.E.M. show in 1995... my favorite band at their peak, with Grant Lee Buffalo opening (right after the Radiohead leg, just missed them, still mad about that).
