Post Description
Maybe the best Sinatra concert released in DVD format.
It's 1982, Frank is 66 years old but sings and swings like in the legendary Capitol days...even better. His voice sounds strong and sure, he travels along a wonderful career of forty years filled with marvellous melodies and huge worldwide hits. He's in an excellent mood and jokes constantly with the audience. The sound of the Buddy Rich orchestra, conducted by Vincent Falcone Jnr. -an usual collaboration of the Sinatra stuff in those years is jazzy and fresh. There are no strings, but you really don't mind, except in tracks like George Harrison's 'SOMETHING'...the amazing Nelson Riddle arrangement made for the 1979 TRILOGY album is definitive and undisputable. Buddy Rich himself takes an exciting ten-minutes segment to demonstrate his artistry with the drums. At the end of his solo, a version of the 'WEST SIDE STORY' theme 'THE JET SONG', you can hardly breathe!!
Another memorable segment comes when The Chairman of The Board and the incredible guitarist Tony Mattola join to do versions of 'SEND IN THE CLOWNS' and 'QUIET NIGHTS OF QUIET STARS'. What a magical, hypnotizing moment.
A must not only for a true Sinatra fan, but for any music fan.
