Peter Sprague's Christmas Eve Concert 2014 Set One Highlights

Details

Description

Every Christmas Eve we play a free concert in Del Mar at the outdoor amphitheater next to the L’Auberge Del Mar Hotel. It’s a long lasting tradition of ours to present this show which is a mix of great music, super cool friends, family, and new acquaintances. Together we rally in the lofty life of California Christmas with the temp barreling down to an edgy 72 degrees in the shade. Again, this year was just like that, super warm and inviting!

The band lineup for the concert was:
Leonard Patton, Lizzi Trumbore, Coral MacFarland-Thuet, Lisa Hightower, Tripp Sprague, Gunnar Biggs, Fred Benedetti, Duncan Moore, Tommy Aros, Riley Fleck, John Leftwich, Kate Sprague, Julia and Regina Benedetti, Kekoa Trent, Allison Adams Tucker, Johnny Minchin, and me.

This video captures the highlights from the first set. The 2nd set highlights are in another posted video.

The sampling of songs are:
Onions
I Can't Make Much Sense Out of You
Brigas Nunca Mais
Born Under a Bad Sign
Rain
Width of the World
Had to Cry Today
