I had the opportunity to see the Pops at Christmas in the Symphony Hall in 1983 while in college. It was an amazing experience: such great music and musicians. It makes one proud to have grown up in the Boston area. Merry Christmas everyone!

What a wonderful performance from the very talented Andy Williams (1927 - 2012). Thanks so much for sharing!!

I was there at the recording of this (sometime in the fall of '88) as a guest of Carole Nash and Blue Cross. Reba nailed it. Wonderful memory. (Note the shot of Ben Orr from The Cars at the end of "I'll Be Home.." !!)

He was one of the very best. I own a lot of his CDs and DVDs.

I love the Pops! Thank you so much for sharing. Do you have any available Christmas concerts from Robert Shaw and the ASO? His Christmas telecasts were also wonderful.

You cut Roberta Flack's song short
