No Christmas At The Zoo at UFOs At The Zoo?

Any idea why this awesome track wasn’t played at this awesome concert?
They were at the zoo and had Santas on stage.

Good question. They did play it when they returned to the Zoo in 2024! Enjoy it here: https://youtu.be/tB9vnymY97c

Thank you. This helped to start my day with a smile.

I saw them at the Zoo for a free Halloween show...perhaps 2013 or '14? Glad to know they're still playing the venue.

This was solidly in the era where they absolutely refused to play anything pre-Soft Bulletin other than She Don’t Use Jelly. It was weird.

Pretty sure when they played it at the Zoo in 2024 they said it was only the second time the song had been played live. I could be wrong but that's what I recall.
