Summary: Great compilation of Sinatra classics over the years w/dvd
Comment: This is a superb sampler of many of Sinatra's greatest hits, spanning decades of Vegas appearances ... the real gems in this collection are the extras, such as the DVD and mini-posters, with the 60-page full color 6x12" booklet that captures many behind-the-scenes stories and background stories.
Superb Sinatra collection; well worth getting. Thanks for putting it together - highly recommended!

Summary: For the Fans of ol' Blue Eyes
Comment: This set is fantastic. I uploaded the entire collection to my iPod and I listen to it in the car all the time. It's great to hear him over the decades and sometimes it's hard to discern which is his older work and which is his newer! Definatly a must have for any true fan of Frankie. Oh, and the DVD was a really special treat to see him in person and remember what a GREAT entertainer he is.

Summary: Sinatra with too much chatter
Comment: The Sinatra Vegas boxed set is a gorgeous product, including two flyers reproducing early '60's billboards advertising Sinatra's Vegas acts. The accompanying booklet is well done and the cds and dvd are well packaged; the graphics are great.
The not so good news, if you like your music straight, is that as advertised, these are recordings of Sinatra's Vegas acts over the years. You get extensive commentary from Sinatra, ad lib, together with alterations of many of the standards he sings, which are not always either interesting or funny, at least not now, anyways.
This is in fact, the Sinatra that a lot of people love to hate. The superbly talented vocal stylist, a performer with magnificent breath control and an almost uncanny knack at teasing the heart out of a song, is subordinated to the Rat Pack Frank, the not particularly charming side of one of the premier vocalists of the 20th century. If you don't mind Sinatra without apologies, the crude, not particularly funny and often boorish Sinatra, this is a fine set.
For my money, however, the Capitol Years set of Sinatra is much better value for the money - it's just the music, no funny biz, just Sinatra singing at the peak of his form with the skill and vocal control that just about no one but Sinatra could manage.

Mobster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel may have laid the physical cornerstones of Las Vegas, but it was Francis Albert Sinatra who gave Sin City its swinging musical soul. Spanning a quarter century, this four-CD-plus-bonus-DVD collection of previously unreleased recordings captures spirited Sinatra shows at the Sands, Caesar's, and Golden Nugget--performances that initially underscore the salutary effect the desert playground had on the singer's muse, then warmly chronicle the autumn years of a triumphant career. A pair of '60s gigs at the Sands (of which Sinatra was part owner) capture an artist still building on his musical legacy in the midst of rock's rising fortunes. The 1961 show turns on the riches of his Capitol years, a musically straightforward set that balances the singer's interpretations of reflective material like "Moonlight in Vermont" and "In the Still of the Night" with upbeat, typically playful renditions of such Sinatra signatures as "Young at Heart," "The Lady Is a Tramp," and "Witchcraft." But it's the '66 performance that may be the most intriguing for Sinatraphiles: A live workout with Count Basie and his orchestra that eschews the singer's mid-decade comeback hits--and even material from the recent Sinatra-Basie collaboration--in favor of a sassy set that's less summit meeting than swinging soirée, a freewheeling highlight reel from his back catalog that finds singer and band engaging each other with playful, often dizzy abandon. The anthology's '82 and '87 sets from Caesar's and the Golden Nugget, respectively, aren't nearly as musically challenging, showcasing a vocalist and still-boisterous crowd-pleaser who might have stopped breaking musical ground, yet never ceased reveling in the glories--and laughs--he could still bring to the moment. Rat Pack partner in crime Dean Martin stops by Caesar's for some good-natured razzing, while daughter Nancy guests on the set's lovably ditzy take on "Somethin' Stupid." The bonus DVD captures another unreleased rarity, an entire May 1978 Caesar's gig taped by CBS during a period when the singer had largely retreated from the spotlight. While his voice sometimes betrays the ravages of time on these later performances, Sinatra's mercurial humor and indomitable spirit simply spirit won't be denied. --Jerry McCulley
