Perry Como's Christmas Concert

This is the final album of Perry Como's long career. Recorded live at the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, before an audience of 4,500, including Irish President Mary Robinson, it was also recorded on videotape and aired on PBS. The videotaped version of the concert shows a man who appears frail and unwell. Como struggled to perform and lost his voice at one point during the concert. The finished version of the concert is less than 90 minutes long; the recording took more than four hours to complete. Despite it all, Como managed to complete his last recorded performance with dignity and professionalism, earning him the applause of his audience.
