Notes: As many know, Sharon underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer two years ago, and is currently undergoing chemotherapy for recurrence of the cancer. Her battle has been the subject of a documentary "Miss Sharon Jones!". Brief Rolling Stone article here:

Now with recurrence, her prognosis is not good. But she is doing a few shows this month to promote her new holiday album which is currently streaming free here:

She spent quite a bit of time between songs talking about her battle with cancer, and it's really touching. At one point, she mentioned that her scheduled chemo treatment the day before the show was cancelled due to her low platelet count. She's sharing EVERYTHING. During the encore she said "When I'm on this stage I'm alive" and there's no doubt about it. I didn't get much video, but here's the encore:
