Sinatra goes home again in this live album recorded
in 1986 at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. I doubt anybody
expected Sinatra to be up to performing live at 70 but he
tackles the songs included here with gusto relishing the
experience of performing. Sinatra performs a triumphant
gig. Yes, this isn’t the Sinatra we know from the 40’s,
50’s or even the 60’s and whatever he had lost in vocal
ability he made up for with his ability to interpret a song.

Sound:
Unlike a lot of recent CDs the music isn’t mastered
at maximum volume or horribly compressed. The fidelity is
fairly good throughout with a nice dynamic range. ---
Sinatra opens by digging deep in his own past opening
with “Without a Song” one of the first songs that Sinatra
performed with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra back in the day.
Sinatra continues tackling a variety of the best songs and
those that he held dearest as a singer throughout the performance.
Sinatra closes with “Mack the Knife” Bobby Darin’s signature
song doing a terrific reading (Sinatra had tackled it before
himself) of the song closing out the show on a high note.
