Bologna 1981
Warsaw 1984
Rock in Rio 1985
Belgrade 1986
St. John 1999
Rock in Rio 2001
Any show from the AMOLAD 2006 tour (probably on europe due to better audience)
Any European leg show from SBIT 2008 (Oslo seems like a good one)
Santiago 2009
Dallas 2010
Fort Lauderdale 2016
London 2018
 
Stockholm 2003, Give Me Ed tour. Love the bootleg. Fantastic performance and crowd

Paris 2008, second night. I have heard so many fans claim this was the best show in 2008.
 
Yeah, Bruce's first gig back. The performance sounded absolutely incredible but I've only seen that really low quality Youtube one. Caught the Paris show which was the first in Europe and an incredible atmosphere but that St John one would have been something else!
 
1) At the Marquee in 1980 (with Di'Anno and Stratton) - the show some extracts from which were used in the 12 Wasted Years documentary.
2) Rock in Rio 1985... which means I would also see Queen. :)

1) Peoria IL 1983, just so that I know a bootleg of it would exist later
2) Chicago, IL 2000
There's sooooo many others I would've loved to go to & document as well....

this is one of their best setlists ever + first show with Adrian and Bruce back. Epic
 
My #1 pick is easily Long Beach 1985 (the gig that came out in audio format... on the video one Bruce kinda lacks muscle on a couple of songs). Then I would also love to see them on their fiercest version during the Killer World Tour. 1983 is a really close second, too.

I would have definitely went to their first two shows from 'Somewhere On Tour' i.e. Belgrade (10 Sept '86) and Zagreb (11 Sept '86). I always get to hear that they were totally on fire during the very first shows of the tour, had around six songs from Somewhere In Time (including The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner!) in their setlists and not to mention, it would be awesome to evidence Walking On Glass live.

There have been rumours that those shows were actually recorded for a TV programme or for some youth club but I guess we just can't know what happened behind the iron curtain...!
 
I would prefer any "new album tour" of reunion era to the listed shows. However, if I had to pick from the list, I would go with Donington shows.
 
Hammersmith 1982 (to experience the new singer, slightly new direction and to feel the zenith of NWOBHM.)
Donington 1988 (to experience a festival with many bands in their prime, even if this night was very rainy and muddy).

And also for both of them: to experience a night with no people staring at their phones during the show
