Description: Recorded live at New York's Madison Square Garden, this 1974 album provides ample testament to Sinatra's Mt. Rushmore-sized status as an American icon: This isn't the performer singing here, but the legend. (The introduction, by famously obnoxious sports commentator Howard Cosell, is hardly intended to minimize the sense of occasion.) From "The Lady Is a Tramp" to "My Way," every one of the Chairman of the Board's vocal inflections seems calculated to convey maximum Sinatra-ness; if he occasionally lapses into self-parody ("Bad, Bad Leroy Brown"), and his voice has lost a few steps, at least it sounds like he's having a good time. --Dan Epstein

Reviews:

Magnificent as Sinatra himself!

I have read some negative reviews about the video of this concert, and I`m quite surprised about the difference with the opinions about the CD. Let me tell you I`m a Sinatra fan, and, even recognizing that in this time his voice doesn`t sound the same as before, it still is the master of connecting to people. You can finish convinced that he lived the stories he sings to us.

Two songs in this CD impress me in particular: My way, an eternal song, and Let me try again, where he seems to start cold and at some point, he recharges and gives us an astonishing end. You must listen to this CD.

An All-Time Great...

This CD is a wonderful live performance. Even though at this point he was getting on up in age, he still sounds great. He had true talent and there aren't many singers out there today with that good ol' true talent. I'm 17 and absolutely love Frank Sinatra. I recommend this CD as well as every single one of his CD's. Also the Rat Pack CD's go along great. Everytime I listen to this CD, I wish I had been there when he performed.

It's An Awesome Album

This is, perhaps, the greatest Sinatra live album ever. No one who even thinks he might like Sinatra should be without it.
