Frank Sinatra. The man had a great voice, but more than that, he had a style that was all his own. When he sang a song, he made it his own, and everybody within earshot felt that, whenever he sang. This concert was done near the end of Sinatra's career, in the mid 70s, but it was during this time that Sinatra was still at his best. I remember the night that this concert was televised, I think more than half the nation was tuned in to hear Sinatra perform. And nobody was disappointed, except for one thing: The concert wasn't nearly long enough. It was performed at Madison Square Garden, and the best of the best all came out to make sure that this night would be perfect for what could be Sinatra's last concert. And nobody was disappointed. Sinatra stayed with his classic openers: The Lady is a Tramp, I Get a Kick Out of You, and Let Me Try Again. He moved on with Autumn in New York and I've got You Under My Skin. He played around with Bad, Bad Leroy Brown and softened with Angel Eyes and led into You are the Sunshine of my Life. Now that he had everybody by their heartstrings, he began heading for the finish with The House I live in and My Kind of Town. After the standing ovation, Sinatra closed out with My Way. It was a night to remember, and this album brings back many of those memories of The Man and his Music. This album is a must have for Sinatra fans. Read full review

I bought "The Main Event" because I'm a Sinatraddict, plain & simple. This is a "hodge-podge" of a few live concerts. The Cosell intro of the first Madison Square Garden event is terrific. Overall, Frank is in fine voice, and the CD is worth having because of its historical significance. Compared to the just-released "Live At The Meadowlands," it pales. However, it's still Sinatra, and "The House I Live In" makes "The Main Event" CD worth its price.
The greatest phraser of all time. Plays great
