Two shows stand out to me:

July 10, 2005: Gold Dust Tour show at Nissan Pavilion, Bristow, VA.
This was my 32nd birthday and I was so juiced that she was performing at the closest venue to me on my birthday. I had a seat close enough to rush the stage and I got to touch her hand twice. Even more important to me, she was on that night, and she did her dedication to the soldiers at Walter Reed for the first time that very night. And, she put Live in Boston to shame with her twirling during "Stand Back," doing the same frenetic pace of the LIB show both during the bridge between the second chorus and the second pre-chorus AND after the leg kick. It was also one of the few times she did both an extra vocal "stand back" AND a leg kick.

October 3, 2003: Say You Will tour show at Verizon Center (then the MCI Center), Washington D.C.
After seeing Fleetwood Mac for the first time at the same venue on the second night of the tour, I noticed that Stevie was *a lot* more into it on this leg of The Tour That Never Ends. I think she even did the high kick thing at the end of "Eyes Of The World" ala the Mirage video. The thing I remember the most about the show was the fact that while I was one of the few people standing during "Beautiful Child" she actually pointed at *ME* during the song! She also was on fiyah during the "Stand Back" twirls.

Honourable mention (sorry, had to do it)

September 19, 2001: Trouble in Shangri-la tour show at Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD.
After a July 28 show at Nissan Pavilion where Stevie mostly went through the motions and was clearly still sick, she put on a much more forceful show this time around in the figurative shadow of the Pentagon. Granted, some songs went the way of the dodo bird this time around (notably, "Bombay Sapphires" was gone by then), but Stevie was on her game on this night.
