The Christmas Show 2004 is a live recording of Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams' December 17, 2004 Holiday show at the Towne Crier Cafe in Pawling, New York. This is a Bootleg Series album, which means that it is generally only sold at live shows, and only during the Holiday season. This album was originally released in 2005, but was remastered and re-released with two bonus tracks in December 2007.
