'Remastering' information:

- One of the best recordings I've edited.

------

"Here Comes The Sun" is played by Nils for the first time due to Bobby Bandiera's absence.

".. The concerts brought the majority of the E Street Band back together. Only Roy and Steve were absent.
And when the bill said "Friends," it wasn't kidding around-- as with last year's shows,
numerous friends and members of the extended family got turns in the spotlight.
Each night brought the Max Weinberg 7, Southside Johnny, Clarence Clemons, Danny Federici, Garry Tallent,
Nils Lofgren, Patti Scialfa, Lisa Lowell, Soozie Tyrell, and the New Alliance Singers.
Plus a bevy of friends and family in holiday costumes, joining in and throwing candy on the nightly closer,
'Santa Claus is Comin' to Town.' " - theboots.net

Thanks to 'drewcatc' for sharing his (Amazing) recording.
