Sinatra At The Sands was the first live album release from singing legend Frank Sinatra, recorded in April 1966 at a night club setting in Las Vegas. The double LP of this exceptional performance, includes monologues which may not be to everyone's taste. (US:9 UK:7)
"Frank Sinatra performing in a live concert with Count Basie and his Orchestra, conducted by a fine arranger/orchestrator Quincy Jones, is one of the best things that ever happened to the Chairman's illustrious musical career. Sinatra At The Sands is one of the best concerts in the history of live recordings that I wholeheartedly recommend for your listening enjoyment. For a live concert, Sinatra's performances are nothing short of splendid."
"This live recording from Las Vegas finds Sinatra fully in his element. Vegas in the '60s was a perfect setting to bring Sinatra's music out of the abstract and into the realm of flesh and blood. At the Sands, the centre of Vegas nightlife, Sinatra is the unchallenged king, and on this album he wears the crown with grace. And, naturally, he swings."
"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."
"The audience goes crazy for this masterpiece. Sinatra is incredible throughout this legendary event and swings like he never swung before. You can feel the excitement from the audience and the great time they were having."
"This musical journey is the greatest concert performance released in Frank Sinatra's long and brilliant career. This masterpiece is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys vocal artistry at its peak in a live concert setting."
