Episode 031 - Sinatra at the Sands (1966)

January/February 1966 and Frank Sinatra is headlining at the Copa Room at the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Performing twice a day with the legendary Count Basie Orchestra, conducted by Quincy Jones, there is no doubt that Sinatra was at the top of his game. Having turned fifty only a few weeks before, he never sounded better and had the audience in the palm of his hand.  

Over a period of seven days, some of those 90-minute concerts were recorded for what was to become surprisingly, Sinatra's first commercially available live album, and one of the greatest live albums of all time. 

Ladies and gentlemen – Rainbow Valley is proud to present the story of Sinatra at the Sands
