One of Sinatra’s best albums and songs. But a small quibble: I have never found this album to be the best sounding album they claim it to be, and I have high end equipment.
IMHO Sinatra’s Capitol album called Where Are You and Capitol’s box set of Sinatra Singles both have way better fidelity than The Concert Sinatra.
Full disclosure: I HAVE NOT HEARD the Concert Sinatra on reel to reel tape, so I may be talking through my hat. Can any one comment on this?
I am not an audiophile but I always appreciate my friends who are. Substack by necessity means linking to YouTube and that’s not sound quality anyone would prefer.
Originally recorded on 35mm film stock (an original thought at the time)”The Concert Sinatra” was reissued and remixed in 2011 and, as you probably know, generated a diverse set of opinions. (I like it but then again I’m not an audiophile.)
For what it’s worth I listen off CDs with high end headsets.
Michael, this album, and this song in particular, have been favorites of mine since I first listened to it. Now, with your wonderful backstory to the song and the recording it has so much more meaning. Once again, we have to thank you for how you bring Sinatra’s music to another level of understanding and appreciation. This song was also part of a great “live” special for television Sinatra performed in 1965. I can’t thank you enough for what you do. Now I need to bring this classic album back to my Sinatra playlist! I am always excited to receive your work. Please keep it coming!

Jack,
