Slightly jealous of people here listing some serious classics from before I was born . . .  But let's see what I can come up with.  Chronological order:

Nine Inch Nails, Calamity Janes, Las Vegas, 1989: Super early show, NIN was more or less unknown, but very high energy

Ministry, Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, 1990: Tour for "The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste", violent, I definitely suffered some high frequency degradation at this show

Buena Vista Social Club, Chicago Theater, Chicago, 1999 or so: Old building designed for acoustics + old school Cubans with incredible musicianship = really fun evening 

Metallica, Rasputin Music, Berkeley, 2016: Not much to say here . . .  Fun to see such a legendary act in such a small space

@larsman: I mean, the place was pretty packed, but the crowd was just super engaged,  While the space was acoustically suboptimal, I recall the band as seeming to be on point.  Iirc, there were some videos around . . .  Ah yes:
