Perry Como's Christmas Concert

Perry Como's Christmas Concert is a 1994 live album by Perry Como. It was Como's final recording before his death in 2001. Taped live at the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, before an audience of 4,500, including Irish President Mary Robinson, it was also issued on videotape and aired on PBS.[3] The videotape of the concert shows a man who appears frail and unwell. Como reportedly was suffering from the flu and struggled to perform, losing his voice at one point during the concert. [4] The finished version of the concert is less than 90 minutes long; the recording took more than four hours to complete.[5] Despite it all, Como managed to complete his last recorded performance with dignity and professionalism, earning him the applause of his audience. Como apologized to his audience for a performance he felt was not up to his usual standards.[6]
