"A must own for Bruce's unbelievable rendition of "Santa" from a concert at C.W. Post back in '75. The song is so good, it makes you wish it was Christmas every day. By the way, "My Hometown" ain't too bad either."
A Rock-n-Roll Christmas Classic

"Along with John Lennon's "Happy Christmas (War is Over)", this is the best Christmas song of the Rock-n-Roll era. It's lighthearted and fun but, like any live Springsteen tune, it's played with all out spirit and convicton. Bruce's banter with the band and the live audience is so engaging, that by the time the last sleighbell rings, you just want to hear the song over and over. It just wouldn't feel like Christmas without this gem from Bruce and the guys in the E Street Band. Classic."

""Santa Claus is coming to town" on CD... Do I have to say anymore? "... When that wind comes whippin down the boardwalk...""
The best Christmas ever lives on through this cd!

"I love this cd so much! I was thrilled to find it (the internet rules!) and although I hadn't heard Bruce's Santa Claus song until this past year, when I did, I was instantly charmed! There is something about it that strikes something in me about all the fun you can hear in the band's performance, and about the memories I now associate with it. Speaking of memories, My Hometown is a beautiful memory song. I love this cd. Buy it! You will too!"

"This is an excellent short cd. I get shivers up and down my spine every time I listen to Santa Claus is Coming to Town - Bruce Style. It is essential Bruce material and features solos by almost all members of the band, another hallmark of Bruce and the E-street band. I was playing this tune in my head all day at work eventhough it is March the temps were in the high 50's herre on the east coast."
