Your top 3 most EMOTIONALLY intense live concerts, and top 3 EMOTIONALLY intense records.

I'll offer up four.

Springsteen at the L.A. forum  for the Darkness at the Edge of Town tour. Record company seats, thanks to the fact my sister worked at A&M Records at the time. 

Led Zeppelin at the Rose Palace in Pasadena, just after the second LP was released. Festival seating. Me and my girlfriend ooched our way to the front. 

Berlin Philharmonic with Von Karajan at Pasadena's Ambassador Auditorium.  Once again, record company seats. Transcendently beautiful tone. 

Bizet's Carmen at the L.A. Music Center. I have no idea how I got them but Second Row toward the middle. Yeah, the performance was by the supposedly second-rate New York City Opera Company, but that didn't stop me from wallowing in the sheer beauty and excitement of it. The experience instantly transformed me into a complete opera fan.

@edcyn I was thinking about Springsteen - I saw him on the River Tour for the first time - mesmerizing - 4 hours of non-stop rock and roll - wow.  The only thing that came close after that was The Rising Tour for me.  

ONE.  

A Piece For Assorted Lunatics 1972

My introduction to surround sound

Only 1: Itzak Perlman playing Bach's Partita in D Minor for violin in a 1978 performance, especially and wonderfully the Chaconne:
