Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Rat Pack Live at the Sands was a Sinatra project that never saw the light of day during his lifetime. Recorded in September 1963 it is as much an indictment as a celebration of a way of life that got Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr their harum-scarum reputations in the late 50s and early 60s. Sinatra's many apologists always took the side of the celebrants, but there was always a sense that the act these three men so enjoyed mounting for the benefit of Las Vegas patrons was a series of private jokes or cameos that happened to be witnessed by an audience. The audience was, essentially, superfluous for this particular circus in which there was only one ringleader--Frank Sinatra. All the comedy routines carefully tread around him, with Martin and Davis leading in self-deprecating jokes and Sinatra sticking to written repartee. All changes with the songs, where Sinatra is at once the serious artist delivering meaning from deep within him, while Martin gets hung up on impersonations and Davis is just a little too mindful of being Mr Entertainment. Perhaps that's why it didn't get released: Sinatra is so far out front of his pals that, jokes aside, it's a touch embarrassing. --Keith Shadwick
CD Description
For those whose favourite part of the legendary Sinatra/Count Basie LIVE AT THE SANDS album was Frank's lengthy comedicmonologue, THE RAT PACK: LIVE AT THE SANDS will arrive likemanna from hipster's heaven. The disc features an entire performance by the storied "rat pack" of the Chairman and his musical pals Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr., but most of the show is given over to shtick and banter. Fittingly, Sinatra gets the most straight-ahead musical time with a brace ofsterling ballads whose appearance should delight hardcore fans. Fortunately, the humorous barbs passed around the stagefor the bulk of the performance are extremely sharp and funny (if politically incorrect in the extreme). Taken as a comedy album with some stirring musical moments, this disc is agem for those who revere the Rat Pack, as they are capturedat the peak of their powers and popularity, exhuding hipness from every pore. LIVE AT THE SANDS is a bona fide culturalartifact documenting one generation's apex of cool.
