Thanks to Mother Nature, what was supposed to be closing night is now the second of three shows. Danny DeVito was not on hand but another local boy stepped up: Jon Bon Jovi. In addition to the other returning guests from night one, Willie Nile joined in for three of the closing rave-ups, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," "What's So Funny..." and "Santa Claus." The structure of the show remained the same, a couple notable substitutions included "So Young and In Love" for "From Small Things" and "Kitty's Back" for "Mary's Place." Sam Moore was even more impressive on his second night - "My City of Ruins" went from a song he barely knew to one he owns. "My City" and "What's So Funny..." is one heck of a mood-switching one-two punch. Worth waiting in the cold and snow for. Songs listed below have the most prominent guest-artist listed in parentheses, but many performers were on and off stage over the course of the night.
