Show includes the first known live performance of "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" since December 1973 - and it's the earliest rendition that is audio-circulating. There's also one of only three known performances of Claudine Clark's 1962 hit "Party Lights". "Thunder Road" is the slow version with Roy on piano and Bruce on harmonica and vocals. The introduction to "Spirit In The Night" includes the opening lines of Lloyd Price's "Stagger Lee". "The E Street Shuffle" includes "Having A Party". "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" includes a snippet of "Theme From Shaft" in the midsection.
