A 4CD/1DVD boxed set of unforgettable live performances, all previously unreleased!! Disc 1 - Recorded at the Sands, Las Vegas, NV November 1961; Disc 2 - Recorded at the Sands, Las Vegas, NV January-February 1966; Disc 3 - Recorded at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, NV March 1982; Disc 4 - Recorded at the Golden Nugget, Las Vegas, NV April 1987; DVD - Recorded at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, NV May 1978.Frank Sinatra accomplished so much in his career that the fact that he virtually created the swinging style that became known as the sound of Las Vegas at its peak seems like a mere footnote to his legacy. Perhaps it is a footnote, but it's a fascinating footnote and one that still holds sway over the popular imagination, both in their perception of Sinatra and Vegas. To many, Sinatra was the brassy, high-rolling Rat Pack leader that he was in the Vegas of the '60s, and that sound and image are still what people hope to experience when they visit Las Vegas. Rhino's four-CD, one-DVD box set Sinatra: Vegas was designed with those listeners in mind. It presents five concerts -- all previously unreleased -- from Sinatra's various engagements in Vegas over the decades. The first two discs are devoted to '60s performances at The Sands, a casino owned in part by Sinatra. The first disc captures a 1961 show and despite some goofing off by Frank -- pronouncing "Imagination" with a hard "G," slipping in a "goddamn" in "Moonlight in Vermont" -- this is a pretty straight-ahead performance of standards and contemporary tunes, not nearly as swaggering as his reputation suggests. It is, however, a nicely nuanced performance, one that feels more suited for a concert hall than a casino.
