Radiohead
Roseland Ballroom, New York (October 11, 2000) Kid A tour.
This concert was near impossible to get into because of the demand.
Got lucky off the WASTE site with the ticket lottery, a very memorable show.

The main one that seems to impress people lately is my having seen the Pixies a few times before the breakup.
Other odd ones were seeing Jewel yodeling before a Peter Murphy show and Nine Inch Nails also opening up for Peter Murphy (on seperate occasions).

Here are the pics I took at that show...
And some people here were impressed with the pics I snapped at the Public Enemy/Living Colour show...

Good god reading this thread is making me feel quite the geezer. And I'm only 46.
Let's see where to start. Dates maybe off due to the haze of time (and other things)
1974 Aerosmith and Black Sabbath
1974 George Harrison
1975 Led Zeppelin
1975 Eric Clapton
1975 Mott the Hoople on Broadway
1976 David Bowie (Diamond Dogs)
1976 Pink Floyd
1976 The Who
1976 The Greatful Dead
1976 Bowie
1977 The Police (CBGBs)
1977 The B52s (CBGBs)
1977 The Ramones (everywhere)
1978 (?) The Clash (Academy of Music)
1979 The Who
1979 The Stones
1980 or 81 U2 (Ritz)
1981 REM (Ritz)
1981 DEVO
edit: I forgot Elvis Costello everytime he was in NY during his angry young man days. And the Talking Heads too.
I must have been to over 1000 concerts in all. I have hearing loss to prove it. I even have some of the old ticket stubs.
Would it impress some? Maybe. But so what, my wife has been to just as many, if not more.

Late summer of 1976 in London seeing an all night show at Islington Screen on the Green featuring The Sex Pistols, The Clash and the Buzzcocks.
Howard Devoto was singing in the Buzzcocks and Keith Levine (PIL) was in the Clash. Siouxsie Sioux danced topless in between acts (not much tittage there). Spotted in the audience was Sid Vicious and what would become Billy Idol. I don't remember the show costing a lot of money.

It's Hard to say what is the most impressive concert
A Perfect Circle - Nine Inch Nails
Third Row at a Smashing Pumpkins Concert
Sarstock: AC/DC - The Rolling Stones
Sarstock is not a big deal for anyone from Toronto 'cause almost everyone was there, or at least says they were, but I have my ticket to prove it.

By the way, that very same week I saw Dr. Feelgood at the Hope & Anchor playing some benefit (talk about a firetrap!) and 801 at Queen Elizabeth Hall. 801 was Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera and a host of other prog-rock heavyweights and the show was released as an album shortly after. Well worth missing Bicentennial week for, eh?
