Warren Haynes’ Annual Christmas Jam is one of the live music highlights of the entire year. An always stellar line-up plays 7+ hours of music that include tons of collaboration and once in a lifetime sit-ins. The 29th Annual Christmas Jam lived up to the hype and was incredible!

Instead of going through the sets one by one, a hero has emerged and delivered his entire seven hours and 29 minute recording of the show in a single playlist. A huge thanks to D. Fries for the excellent recording and his hard work to share this show!

Anytime a seven and a half hour show opens with Holly Bowling pounding out “St. Stephen” on the piano and ends 63 songs later with Gov’t Mule shredding on “Mule,” sign me up!
