It had been nearly a month since we last played a Jersey Shore bar, having done shows in various locations outside of our home base, so it was a nice homecoming for the band on Thanksgiving weekend with a show Friday night at Edgar's Pub in Manasquan and Saturday at the Boathouse in Belmar.
Friday night's show ranks amongst the best we've played at Edgar's, with an attentive, enthusiastic audience on hand that kept the energy level rising throughout the evening. The show opened with the obscure "I Wanna Be With You" and included other rare treats like "Living in the Future" and "My Love Will Not Let You Down." The Christmas season was officially ushered in late in the night with a performance of "Santa Claus is Comin' To Town" complete with each band member donning their own unique yuletide hat and jolly old St. Nick Shanker ho ho ho-ing the night to a triumphant close.
Saturday night's show at the Boathouse opened with "Cadillac Ranch" and also featured performances of "The Ties That Bind," "Darkness on the Edge of Town," "Racing in the Street," "So Young and in Love" and "Paradise by the C." Once again Santa Claus came to town and the result was an exuberant crowd sing-along. With the houselights on for last call, the evening came to a close with funky version of "The E Street Shuffle."
