Hard to say, because as long as Jon's voice was working and he wasn't cheating on the "Frankie said I did it my way" nearly all performances are the same. There were never any significant ad-libs or other variations.
Obviously, it has to be one of 2000-2001 not just because of Jon, but also because Richie's backing vocals declined at a similarly rapid pace in 2002-2006 and they're a big part of IML chorus live.
The three performances that come to my mind right now are Philadelphia 2000 (Jon sang the chorus a bit differently and the crowd was great), MSG 2005 (simply incredible crowd) and 9/11 relief show (Jon's voice sounded really strong, plus it's pro-shot, so it would be my go-to performance from an audio quality standpoint). Not very original answers, I will admit that.
