Springsteen collectors - What are the "must have" ROIOs?

Question

I know some might consider this "too broad" or a "list question", but there are probably a very limited number of answers here.

I'm looking to explore Bruce Springsteen's illustrious touring career. I'm wondering what are the dates/titles of some of the "must have" ROIOs out there. Either spectacular performance, rare setlist, alternate lyrics or some other feature that makes you feel it would be a great primer for a new collector. Preferably from a SB/FM source, though better audience recordings are OK.

(For the uninitiated, "ROIO" stands for Recording Of Indeterminate Origin and is sort of the "politically correct" way of saying "bootleg")

If possible, could you list dates/sources, and add a little about why you like these particular shows? Thanks! – Johnny Bones Dec 06 '17 at 22:37
