Little Steven & The E Street Band doing the Ramones classic "Merry Christmas (I Don't Wanna Fight)"
Before he got his sweet gig at Tony Soprano's right hand man, Miami Steve Van Zandt was Bruce Springsteen's left hand man (Clarence took care of the things on the right).
In this rare clip we see Sprinsteen out of the spotlight and on piano, while Little Steven handles the vocals and pays tribute to Joey Ramone's modern Christmas nugget.
