Note : The visual quality of this Video is not that great? Yes. That's not important.
What is important is that we do have this video. The sound is good, and Frank sounds wonderful
and is wonderful as always.
Yes, let us consider ourselves Lucky that we are able to view Frank performing Live in Manila.
LONG LIVE SINATRA
Frank opens with one of my Favorite Sinatra Songs, "I've Got The World on a String"
by Harold Arlen. Absolutley great.
Frank comes on stage and thanks the audience for a warm wonderful reception.
He says "Shoot," and the band strikes up, and Frank starts singing. You gotta Love it.
Franks's still got it here. He still shouts out "Hip, Hop, Ho, Ho," as the band turns it up on
"I've Got You Under My Skin" at minute 12:35 , and the audience just Loves it. "It's Frank."
WATCH FRANK ROLL The DICE during Minute 19:10 , singing LUCK BE a LADY
NOTE : After Frank finishes up on Come FLy with Me, he chats with the audience, telling them,
"I make this little talk cause we don't have any new music. We don't have any new songs to sing for you. I'm not angry about it. I'm just dissapaointed. However, these songs we have are some of the best songs ever written."
What Mr. Sinatra, I'm sure he feels and would say if he could, "The music these days Sucks,
There isn't any good music being written anymore, only Crap. (Talking about music from 1989
and up into the 21st Century, this Shittiest Music in The Entire History of The World.
And then the Audience Sings HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAT FRANKIE
FRANK SINATRA
Live Phoenix, Arizona
1993
"All or Nothing at All" (Cole Porter) Minute - 6:30
SINATRA
SInging ALL or NOTHING at ALL
Look at Frank. This is the moment during ALL or NOTHING at ALL when the tempo of the music speeds up and The ORechestra really Kicks in, and Frank Loves it. He is smiling and Snapping his Fingers and really getting into the Music and the orchestra. He says, "Hip" "Ha" and "What a Great Band," he's really getting into it here. It was 1993, and so sadly Frank will have passed away 5 years later in 1998 at age 82.
You can hear that Frank was starting to slip just a bit, but had a hell of a lot left in himself to perform so greatly. Frank is talking to the audience, telling jokes, snapping his fingers, dancing a bit, and having a wonderful time performing for a very appreciative audience.
When I say that Frank swas slipping a bit, this is not a criticism in any way, just statting a fact, you can hear his voice crack a bit. But a Sinatra voice at less than 100% is still better than most. I have loved Frank Sinatra and his music all my life. I have listen to it for more than 55 years. I was so fortunate to have seen Frank Sinatra perform on 7 wonderful occasions. These concerts were some of the most wonderful momemts in my entire life, and I'm so glad that I went to those concerts, and with good friends and loved ones. That's hat it's all about, good times with loved ones, and there is no better mor wonderful time you could ever have than seeing the great Frank Sinatra perform live and in Concert. Truly.
"Good Solo. Trombone. Good solo"
You can see how much Frank was injoying himself here. Listening to the Band,
the Trombone Solo, and just being in front of an audience, performing his incomparable
music for them. Frank SInatra was truly The Greatest of All-Time.
"Yeah! Yeah!" Frank says at 20:42 .. He's really grooving on the Band here. "Good Solo,
Trombone. Good Solo"
"I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN" (Cole Porter) starts at Minute 18:30
Minute 21:50 "Thank You Very Much. It's Fun to Sing a Song like that. So
