TheBoots.net synopsis:
The material from the second album all sounded great with the addition of the horns from the Max Weinberg 7. "Blue Christmas" was done in a basically bluegrass arrangement. "Lucky Town" featured Bruce and Jimmy Vivino trading off guitar solos and the horns added some great punch to it. The Southside songs also benefitted from the horns, as did "So Young and in Love." Patti's new song, "Rose," was about her experiences working in a New York City diner, where she said she was the world's worst waitress.
Bruce's new song, "My City of Ruins," is very powerful and very gospel-esque, sounding very similar to Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready." Bruce dedicated the song to the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce and mentioned all the charities that each night was benefitting.


Edited from a post by tattoodad3: 

Here's the background story on these 3 soundboards:

2000-12-17
2001-12-06
2003-12-08

In late 2005, Bruce "threw a bone" to Sirius Satellite Radio by asking Toby Scott to mix three soundboards for broadcast. 

In a series of blunders, Sirius broadcast the latter 2 of the soundboards, and neglected to mentioned that they were anything more than the audience recordings already in circulation. They failed entirely to broadcast the Dec. 17, 2000 show. Instead, they mistakenly broadcast the 2003 show twice. 
To make matters worse, Sirius compressed the hell out of the originally supplied tapes, and the broadcasts sounded so shitty that no one paid any attention to them. 

The holiday shows that are being shared this Christmas Day are digital clones of the uncompressed tapes given to Sirius for broadcast. They're as good as it gets and they sound 1,000 times better than the versions that Sirius broadcast.
