Pop this on, close your eyes, and you'll be instantly transported back to the Vegas of 1966. The Sands Hotel was still the "class joint" where Sinatra and his Rat Pack buddies partied, held court, and occasionally even performed. This priceless document (Sinatra's first official live album) captures the Chairman of the Board in performance mode, ably supported by conductor-arranger Quincy Jones and Count Basie and his Orchestra. The set list comprises 16 Sinatra classics--including "Come Fly with Me," "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)," "It Was a Very Good Year," and "Angel Eyes"--along with two Basie instrumentals and some seriously un-P.C. stage banter. Essential. --Dan Epstein

It is an amazing document of Sinatra in his environment. The sound quality is superior. It is a hall of fame arrangement and performance by Quincy Jones and the Count Basie Orchestra. Even the stage patter is classic. If you can't get the Vegas Box set, get this. If you have the Vegas Box set, get this.
One of the best if not the best Sinatra album June 16, 2008
Not much to say other than classic mid-career Sinatra. If you love the guy's work you buy this.
one of the best..if not the best Sinatra CD ever! May 22, 2008
THis is an outstanding CD. From "Cannon" introducing Frank to the selection of songs to the digitally re mastered versions.... a perfect compilation....

I listen to this CD almost every day, especially when I need to escape from my current reality. That says a lot because I HATE it when things are overplayed, even if I love them in the beginning.
This CD, for me, can be summed up in one word: FUN.
Just pop this in the player, sit down with a Jack Daniel's on the rocks (or whatever your poision of choice is) close your eyes, and picture Sinatra on stage, right in front of you. You can hear glasses tinkling, people murmuring, but above all you hear the clash of cymbals, the pounding of the piano, and most importantly, you hear The Voice.
You can tell that Sinatra had a ton of fun throughout this taping, especially during the second track, "I've Got A Crush On You," where he's flirting and interacting with the audience. The "Tea Break Monologue" alone is worth the price of the CD for me. Sinatra is in his natural element, being charming and funny with his stories and jokes. Everytime I hear it, I stop and grin and wish I could have been there that night.
The instrumental on "Makin' Whoopee!" is beyond excellent and "Luck Be A Lady" is probably one of my favorite tracks. I can practically see Sinatra rolling a pair of dice across the table and praying that Lady Luck is still with him.
I highly recommend this CD and I know you won't regret it!
