WARREN HAYNES’ Christmas Pre-Jam [5CD] Live at The Orange Peel, Asheville, North Carolina; December 14, 2012

Warren Haynes’ Christmas Pre-Jam [no label, 5CD]
Live at The Orange Peel, Asheville, North Carolina; December 14, 2012. Good to very good FM broadcast, slight broadcast hiss.

“At this festive season of the year, Mr. Scrooge,” said the gentleman, taking up a pen, “it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the Poor and Destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time.  Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir.”
- Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

The Concert for Sandy Relief on December 12 was so massive and generated so much publicity that other benefits were certainly dwarfed by it, including the annual Warren Haynes’ Christmas Jam [Haynes is a founding member of jam band Gov’t Mule], in aid of the Habitat For Humanity. Hopefully readers will take time to listen to some/all of these tracks and even contribute to this benefit.

Thanks to DooDee who recorded the show and shared it on Dime.

This is what DooDee noted:

This post is all about freely sharing some great music, spreading the vibe of these bands, increasing sales of their goods and attendance at their shows, promoting the great work of Habitat For Humanity and having a little fun.

The Warren Haynes’ Christmas Jam, an annual benefit for Habitat For Humanity, celebrates its 24th year in Asheville, NC in 2012. This is an incredible annual event where an amazing list of musicians donate their time to participate - all proceeds go straight to the cause. Warren always manages to bring a great group of musicians together for an even greater cause.

Warren stages a shorter pre-jam before the real jam the next night at the Civic Center. Now short is a relative term meaning different things to different individuals. Here’s Warren’s definition - about 40 songs clocking in at just under four and a half hours…

One of the highlights of this event for me each year is the cool cover songs. Among the artists covered this year - Pearl Jam, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, CSNY and Bob Marley.

This is an FM with some minimal fuzzies here and there (we’re still using the barbed wire surrounding our pastures, tractor parts and coffee cans to jump the FM up to the house out here in the country) but these are mostly unnoticeable during the musical portions…

As has become a holiday tradition, here’s one for y’all to enjoy. [Note: Readers can also make a donation here.]

Thanks also to CrazyMama for the artwork.
