Vegas (5 CD)

2014 reissue of the highly-successful five disc (four CDs + DVD) box set featuring over 70 unreleased live tracks of Sinatra performing at legendary Las Vegas venues from 1961-87. Disc One features an electrifying performance recorded at the Sands Hotel in November of 1961. Disc Two, recorded in early 1966, is from the same run of shows that produced the best-selling SINATRA AT THE SANDS, and features Sinatra performing with Count Basie & His Orchestra which featured a young Quincy Jones conducting. Disc Three presents Frank at Caesars Palace during a two-week engagement at Circus Maximus in March of 1982. Disc Four features a strong performance from an April 1987 engagement at the Golden Nugget. For this show Sinatra’s favorite accompanist Bill Miller was not behind the piano, he conducted the orchestra instead. The DVD features a complete unreleased concert from May 5, 1978 at Caesars Palace including rare backstage footage. SINATRA: VEGAS also includes a lavish 64-page book with celebrity commentary, essays by noted Sinatraphiles, rare photos, and reproductions of Vegas memorabilia.
