The Main Event: Live

Sinatra embarked on a six-concert tour in 1974, working with Woody Herman & the Young Thundering Herd, which was conducted by Bill Miller, Sinatra's long-time pianist. Dubbed "The Main Event," the tour culminated with a televised concert from Madison Square Garden on October 13, 1974. Subtitled "Live From Madison Square Garden," this album is a compilation taken from various shows on "The Main Event" tour; The Main Event is a delight, full of inspired performances. While there are a couple of contemporary numbers – Stevie Wonder’s ‘You Are The Sunshine Of My Life’ for example, the majority of the songs are standards – ‘The Lady Is a Tramp’, ‘I've Got You Under My Skin’. Both Sinatra and Herman's band are lively, spurring each other on to consistently strong performances, Sinatra adding lyrical asides, impressions, and jokes throughout the record, as well as occasionally changing the lyrics by making them a little more ‘hip’ but his singing cannot be faulted and it remains one of his most enjoyable records of the '70s.
