LOL! I so agree. I find nothing sad about Adam's version. It is Beautiful, Bluesy, Raw and Sexy. He knows how to deliver a punch that is for sure. Good for you that you find "nothing sad" about the song. My reaction was different, and I don't seem to be the only one after reading through comments on twitter and IG. As we discussed here a while ago, different people have different emotional reactions based on their perceptions. I think it is okay for a Christmas song to feel sentimental. For me, "Please Come Home For Christmas" is heart heavy and HOT at the same time. Bluesy and raw sure works well for Adam. Went to Best Buy to look for a USB type C cable replacement (ended up ordering 3 cables and a 4 port USB hub from Amazon for the same price as one of theirs!), and suddenly there was a familiar song playing. But something was wrong about it. "Please Come Home For Christmas", except the vocals felt rather... anemic. Obviously it wasn't Adam - what are the chances of that song making it on a play list at Best Buy? It was Don Henley - the Eagles had a cover of the song in 1978. Damn! Adam broke yet another song for me, and I flove me some Eagles...

Yes, it seems whenever Adam covers a song, the original just doesn't sound as good to me anymore!

girldrummer i would guess swimmer? Idk To the earlier conversation: when Adam was asked if he'd do a Christmas Album He said that he's not very fond of the Christmas music (in a general Sense) and he's jewish. I never took it that He didnt want to do it BECAUSE he's jewish it's just another point next to that he doesn't like Christmas music in the first place. At the 38:20 mark youtu.be/dK0EdK4ca0w

The Eagles version of that song is the one most played , at least in my experience. That’s the version I am familiar with.
Personally I’m not crazy about the song in any version. Not a blues person!

Was Cam performing with Adam tonight? I didn't see her or her keys onstage. I know she has been sick. Definitely heard keys on CTY, but assume that was a backing track? Didn't hear keys on other songs. still sick.
