First night of the Christmas Benefit shows. Some of the proceeds are donated to the Asbury Park High School band, along with 30 instruments. Fantastic show, with "None But The Brave" getting a premiere airing as might have been expected given it's inclusion on The Essential Bruce Springsteen. Also included - "Seaside Bar Song", "Thundercrack" and "The Wish" with Bruce on piano. "Mary's Place" sounds great with live horns, and includes "The Monkey Time". Guests include Sam Moore, Garland Jeffreys and Jesse Malin. The Victorious Gospel Choir opens the show by performing "Hold Out Hold Out" without Bruce.

The Holiday Shows are back and in fine form. A very solid show with some nice surprises. From Small Things was terrific, as were the Garland songs and Thundercrack. Southside is always an energetic moment during the shows and once again, he revved the place up. Mary's Place was an interesting choice, nicely done, but I did miss Kitty and Incident from earlier shows. Biggest treat came with the Sam Moore set: A great 4 pack with Bruce joining in for the fun. The surprise of the evening was a rocking What's So Funny — intense. Well worth the ride through the rain, the snow…
