Same for the cover tunes. I think Jon just wanted it to be more of a show that'd showcase their talents. New songs, old songs, unreleased stuff, Christmas songs and cover tunes. It really is a bit of everything.
But like I said, I haven't listened to it all yet. I hadn't picked up on the "When You Know The Words", the section where they're rehearsing Papa Was A Rolling Stone is 30 minutes long so it's all a lot to digest. There's another one being rehearsed of which I am sure will show up on youTube sooner or later that'll make you all drool. 
I know there were recording sessions during the Keep The Faith tour, but considering how thin Jon's voice sounds (They go from standard tuning to half a step down on the second day of rehearsals I think), it'd surprise me if he was still able to sing as well as he did on the studio recording of the song. Then again, during the rehearsals he seems to switch to "performance" vocal and "guiding vocal" a lot.

I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas at least makes sense, the video for that was shot on the Evening With set. Auggh of course this comes along and gets me interested in the band again...
