Customer Rating:
Summary: Great gift!
Comment: I purchased 4 of these for gifts. The two 20-somethings loved them and the 50 year old did too. I ended up keeping the 4th one for myself. Great music and great laughs!

Summary: If You Love the Ratpack, Then You Will Love This
Comment: I purchased this set as a Christmas present for my father. He enjoyed watching the DVD section and now often puts it on as background when he is doing work in the living room or guests are over. He also enjoys the cd section. I myself am not much of a Ratpack fan, so the DVD section is not especially interesting to me, but if you enjoy the Ratpack (like my father), this set is great for you.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This is a must have!
Comment: This is all that it appears to be and more. Timeless, classic, all of those things and more. If you are remotely interested in either or all of the three guys on this cd/dvd buy this album. FYI it doesn't mention that the Basie band is backing Sammy and Frank which was an added bonus for me anyway.
Customer Rating:
Summary: very very good
Comment: I actually haven't heard it but it was bought as present for my father and his review of it was it's very good some of the banter between the three of them is priceless and a must for any fan of the rat pack.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Classic
Comment: By far the best deal you can get if you're a fan of the Rat Pack (Sinatra, Martin, and Davis). The boys sing well and though the jokes are repeated and scripted, (Martin was the only true comic of the group) they never get old. Carson fills in admirably for Bishop on the DVD and even manages to sing an entertaining part in the unofficial theme song of the group, Birth of the Blues.
As a fan who never saw them in person, this is as close to them as I can get and it's almost enough.

Live and Swingin' is undoubtedly for those who already own some of the guys' worthier recordings. Oh, but the guys? Frank, Dean, and Sammy (or, as Jackie Mason had it on The Simpsons, "the Candy Man!") For most anyone who cares, though, this is a must-buy item: a slightly edited version of the 1962 Villa Venice tapes along with a DVD that preserves a rarely seen, full-length serious/funny/anarchic Rat Pack performance from '65. (For sentimentalists' sake, it was taped on Tina Sinatra's 17th birthday; she makes a brief appearance onstage with the fellas.) All kidding aside, the trio makes with the serious singing - though perhaps those who came to hear Sammy get through an entire mini-set without interruption will want to go elsewhere, as his partners' shtick barely allows him to finish a line, much less a song. Sinatra aficionados will find the DVD indispensable, as he paws his way through a mellow version of "My Kind of Town" (benefit location "St. Louis"!) and "Fly Me to the Moon." --Rickey Wright
