The Winter Tour (also known as House of Blues Residency was a tour by Social Distortion. As its name applies, most of the shows were based out of the House of Blues in Orange County (Anaheim, San Diego, West Hollywood) with a couple of shows heading out to Las Vegas and Tempe, Arizona. Even though similar, this tour was not a part of the Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes tour, as most of the material played here was pulled from most of the band's catalog. This is also not the first time Social Distortion has done a tour like this, it has been done before numerous times since 2001. As with previous House of Blues tours, the band played rare songs and new songs and brought out guests this time, such as Billy Gibbons and Mike Ness' own son Julian Ness. They also brought out Eric "Jailhouse Blues" Von Herzen who played harp for "It Coulda Been Me" and "Drug Train" on Social Distortion (album) and they also played ZZ Top's La Grange (song) with Billy Gibbons. The band also premiered songs like "Far Side of Nowhere", "Writing On the Wall" and performed songs that have not been played in a while like "It Coulda Been Me", "99 to Life", "Footprints On My Ceiling", "Hour of Darkness", "Diamond In the Rough" and even played the White Light, White Heat, White Trash album in its entirety at some shows.
