Missa Solemnis - LA Phil, Dudamel, 200+ voices WDCH. Subscriber but upgraded to third row center. I will, and most will, never see the likes again. 
Stunning. Like most respondents - a variety of rock concerts over the years but for shear mind blowing sound - unamplified or manuipulated it was trancendent - as the composer wished it to be.

The Jackson Five - Ft. Wayne, IN  Memorial Coliseum 1971

Yes - Ft. Wayne, IN  Memorial Coliseum 1972

Now this was that transition year from an 8th grader to a 9th grade freshman in highschool.  A massive jump in perspectives, to say the least.

Santana - Ft. Wayne, IN  Memorial Coliseum 1973

And this was all general seating, meaning we sat cross legged on the concrete concert floor and boogied with the best of them.
