Need Recommendation: Best Live Performance Of "The River" In Its Entirety

I am wanting to buy a concert from the "Live Bruce Springsteen" site where Bruce and the band play "The River" in its entirety. We normally associate this with the 2016 tour (or at least most of it), but Bruce also played "The River" in its entirety on November 8, 2009 in New York City (with the larger band).

Which show features your favorite performance of "The River," and what concerts do fans typically refer to as the best shows? A friend of mine has the January 19, 2016 show from Chicago, and that's clearly not one of the best ones. Springsteen was clearly singing through a cold during the early stages of the 2016 tour, and his voice gives out several times throughout the concert. His voice even cracks up during his spoken intro before the band launches into "The River."

Thanks for the recommendations. I am mainly interested in the best performance of "The River." I realize that he played some other songs during each of the shows, but I am not really concerned with those performances.
