Album Notes Personnel: Frank Sinatra (vocals); Jim Hughart (bass instrument); Irv Cottler (drums).Liner Note Author: Charles Pignone.Recording information: Las Vegas, Nevada.Frank Sinatra would still be a cultural icon even if he had never set foot on a Las Vegas stage. Yet, in many ways, Sinatra is synonymous with Vegas. In 1951, he began a run that would last 43 years--mostly at the Sands, the hotel that would itself become a monument to his greatness. During those years Sinatra gave hundreds of dynamic performances, both at the Sands and elsewhere, and this concert, recorded at the intimate Golden Nugget venue in 1986, is one of them.Backed by a large ensemble, complete with horns and strings, Sinatra rolls through many of his signature numbers, including "My Way," "I've Got You under My Skin," and "New York, New York." Sinatra also turns out other standards in his inimitable fashion, with "Luck Be a Lady," "I've Got a Crush on You," and "Mack the Knife" among them. Old Blue Eyes is in fine voice, and the inclusion of between-song banter makes listening to LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS feel like the next best thing to being there. The disc works nicely as a tribute to the glittering city, and a document of Sinatra's skill and charisma.
