Beginning of "Merry Christmas Baby"
Merry Christmas everybody, happy holidays.

At the end of "Merry Christmas Baby"
Steve… What now… what now… what do we do now. I think we transition [Steve], we did not rehearse… we're gonna transition [Steve]… no rehearsal. We're gonna transition into that other song [Steve]. Oh, good idea, good idea. Alright, I'm not sure how [Steve], we're gonna do it right now, are you ready, it goes like this [Steve]. Quiet.

Beginning of "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town"
Alright everybody, alright…. You know what time of year it is. Christmas time [Audience]. What time of year is it? Christmas time [Audience]. What time? Christmas time [Audience]. What time? Christmas time [Audience]. What time? And have you been good. Nooo [audience]. Thank you for being truthful. Have you been treating your partner nice and gentle? Yeah [Audience]. Steve have you been good? Sure, boss [Steve]. "No fucking way".

Middle of "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town"
I want to thank everybody for coming out tonight for WhyHunger's 50th anniversary. And I want to send a prayer and thank you out to Harry Chapin. I met Harry in 1977 when we were recording Darkness on the Edge of Town. Harry was in the same studio and he came in. And I asked him, how do you work that charity? And he said: 'Well, I play one night for myself and one night for somebody else.' So that's a good idea, but I am not going to do that. So we tried to figure it out and I've been working with WhyHunger for forty years. So thank you WhyHunger and everybody involved. And thank you Steve Van Zandt and the Disciples of Soul!

Towards the end of "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town"
"I'm not ready to go home yet. Pick it up from the solo and take it all the way out one more time."
