Eric Clapton - Christmas Tears


This is a performance by Eric Clapton playing the Christmas song "Christmas Tears". The concert footage is from a benefit for The Special Olympics, and it is shot in Washington D.C. in December of 1998. President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary were present, and they held the benefit.
There were many different acts present at the concert, and the year after the concert, a CD of the concert was released. (Click here to go to purchase a copy of the CD).
Other acts at the concert were: Mary J. Blige, Jon Bon Jovi, Tracy Chapman, Sheryl Crow, John Popper, Run–D.M.C. and Vanessa Williams
On Clapton's part this is a pretty standard blues tune, singing about loneliness and missing some one at Christmas. It doesn't have bells and all that, and in some ways it's not that uplifting, but I still think it's a pretty good song. Maybe just because it isn't your typical overproduced pop song, but a good blues song that just happens to be about Christmas.
It's a really good performance on Clapton's part, of a good and a little untraditional Christmas song.

Enjoy ; )
