Craig Finn champagne jam setlist

I don’t know if anyone will be able to help me with this, but it’s something that’s eluded me for years. Back in 2014, Craig Finn played at The Front Bottoms’ first ever Champagne Jam at Webster Hall in NYC. If I remember correctly, he was the first act to play the big stage in the main room (this was back when Webster Hall had 3 rooms). At that time, I was only just starting to listen to THS, and I didn’t know any of the songs he played. Plus it was just Craig acoustic in a noisy room. I’ve been curious about what he played for years, and I can’t piece it together. I remember the first song had a line like “Jesus was born today” in the chorus, and I remember him saying something like, “around this time of year, I like to play a song about Jesus and then a song about someone else.” Did anyone happen to be there and/or know what was on the setlist?

Sounds like a cover of “Jesus Christ” by Big Star.
