"If you wanna hear me sing serious, buy an album," Dean Martin says early in this 70-minute disc, underlining his point by deliberately mangling the last word's pronunciation. Issued to catch the wave of Steven Soderbergh's remake of the Pack's romp, Ocean's 11, Live at the Sands is the second official issue of a Martin/Frank Sinatra/Sammy Davis Jr. show. This September 1963 date, though, is nimbler and funnier than the previous year's set preserved on The Summit in Concert. Some of the same jokes are told, but this Vegas jaunt adds at least one new running gag (Dino's brief rendition of "It's My Party"), and Sammy also gets a few racially tinged zingers off in return for those of his partners. Oh, and lest we forget, there's good music. Martin actually plays it straight on two Guys and Dolls duets with Sinatra, who also turns in a half-dozen strong performances on his own. Plenty of mystique is present, but Sands captures the trio hard at work as well. --Rickey Wright

Rat Pack live CD.......2007-05-12

So much fun to hear the Rat Pack performming. The best one is Dean Martin singing I love Vegas to the song I love Paris.

Best of the Best.......2007-03-08

A classic work by the Rat Pack. Probably a prime act of their their careers.

How can you go wrong?.......2006-07-01

This is the RATPACK on the home turf Las Vegas with a nice orchestra INCLUDING strings which add especially on the ballads.

The set is tightly paced throughout and though a few jokes are dated a bit perhaps, I think they hold up well.

Sammy doesn't get to sing a whole lot and he gets picked on the most - some people may be offended and consider that racist. Just the opposite - the whole objective of those jokes was to POKE FUN and RIDICULE racism which back then was still more prevalent. How many doors were opened to black entertainers by the RAT PACK is obvious.......

But back to the show......this is probably the best set that they did together and the sound quality is AMAZING albeit a bit dry (lacking reverb) for my tastes. What was nice is that Sinatra sang a lot of songs which he had (at the time) recently recorded e.g. CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE, PLEASE BE KIND etc. Keep in mind this was yrs before MY WAY and NEW YORK.

So put this CD on, close your eyes and let yourself be transported back into cool land!

It's your world Frank, I'm just livin' in it.".......2006-03-08

LIVE AT THE SANDS is The Rat Pack on their home turf---The Sands Hotel, Las Vegas Nevada, 1963. Frank, Dean and Sammy go to town with a collection of old standards and new numbers with a twist.

Always humorous, The Rat Pack's soooooo un-PC banter about women, drink, race, sexual orientation and religion doesn't suit the keepers of the morals nowadays (it even gets edited by Amazon.com when written into a review {...}!), but that is precisely what makes it priceless. Topical and yet still timely, The Rat Pack will shock and delight you with their "Ring-a-ding-ding," an unselfconscious world of bourbon, cocktail waitresses, cigarettes, tuxedos and smooth arrangements, all punctuated by man talk. No Clydes allowed.

Although some of this material is reprised from LIVE & SWINGIN' and other collections, the performance in LIVE AT THE SANDS has a vigor and sparkle that can only be gotten from the home-field advantage.

For anyone wishing to experience The Rat Pack at their best, LIVE AT THE SANDS is it, baby!

Enjoyable CD!.......2006-03-04

This CD is a great addition for any fan of the Rat Pack. It has wonderful songs and hilarious dialogue between all three of the Rat Pack guys. In fact, you would probably enjoy it and laugh along even if you aren't into the Rat Pack! I recommend this CD.

Live and Swingin' is undoubtedly for those who already own some of the guys' worthier recordings. Oh, but the guys? Frank, Dean, and Sammy (or, as Jackie Mason had it on The Simpsons, "the Candy Man!") For most anyone who cares, though, this is a must-buy item: a slightly edited version of the 1962 Villa Venice tapes along with a DVD that preserves a rarely seen, full-length serious/funny/anarchic Rat Pack performance from '65. (For sentimentalists' sake, it was taped on Tina Sinatra's 17th birthday; she makes a brief appearance onstage with the fellas.) All kidding aside, the trio makes with the serious singing - though perhaps those who came to hear Sammy get through an entire mini-set without interruption will want to go elsewhere, as his partners' shtick barely allows him to finish a line, much less a song. Sinatra aficionados will find the DVD indispensable, as he paws his way through a mellow version of "My Kind of Town" (benefit location "St. Louis"!) and "Fly Me to the Moon." --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

very very good.......2007-07-05

I actually haven't heard it but it was bought as present for my father and his review of it was it's very good some of the banter between the three of them is priceless and a must for any fan of the rat pack.

Classic.......2007-06-27

By far the best deal you can get if you're a fan of the Rat Pack (Sinatra, Martin, and Davis). The boys sing well and though the jokes are repeated and scripted, (Martin was the only true comic of the group) they never get old. Carson fills in admirably for Bishop on the DVD and even manages to sing an entertaining part in the unofficial theme song of the group, Birth of the Blues.

As a fan who never saw them in person, this is as close to them as I can get and it's almost enough.

Rat Pack.......2007-05-20

Having grown up in a household where Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr were my father's favorite entertainers we recently went and saw the production Rat Pack Live at the Sands. The show was great and I decided to see if there were any recordings of the real Rat Pack available. I stumbled upon this package and I was not disappointed and I am sure you will not be either. It is filled with many classic songs and skits, although Sammy isn't really given the opportunity to perform seriously, but from what I have heard that was the case during their shows.

It doesn't get any better than these guys.......2007-05-13

I was born a generation too late. They were the best! True entertainers

Fabulous.......2007-01-18

If you are a fan of Frank Dean & sammy Then this is a must buy!!!

Timed to the release of the 2001 remake of the Sinatra-Martin-Davis anti-classic Ocean's 11, this 18-track compendium serves as less a best-of than an introduction to the high-living nightclub ethos the Rat Pack embodied. Along with some true knockouts, mostly from Frank's catalog, Eee-O 11's mostly beltingly upbeat tracks also include the impossibly corny (a "When You're Smiling" that seems to be putting Dino himself to sleep) and a couple of straitjacketed studio takes on the Pack's onstage antics (both Sammy duets). Handily, 11 culls one of the original movie's few high points--the rousing Davis blues that provides this disc's title--for a closer. Those drawn in by the newer flick will find this a welcome package, as will swingin' initiates looking for a road-trip CD soundtrack. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Great Album.......2007-01-19

I bought this for my 15 year old son who has recently discovered and loves the singers/standards/jazz of the 50's and 60's. He actually goes to sleep listening to this! So much better than all of the hip-hop "yelling at life" stuff out today that is so degrading.
A great selection from Frank, Sammy and Dean. I would recommend this to anyone.

"In the meantime...Eee-oh, Eee-oh...Eee-oh-11...Eee-oh-11.".......2006-03-29

A compilation of studio recordings by Messrs. The Rat Pack, (aka Frank, Dean and Sam) this irrepressibly upbeat CD is a fine intro to those of us (not me) too young to remember The Boys in their hey-hey days, and a gift of memory to those who do (including me).

Standards from The Rat Pack catalogue round out most of this disc, topped by Sammy Davis Jr.'s beautiful blues rendition of the original OCEAN'S ELEVEN theme song. Enjoy!

So put the top down and go cruising. It's a cool day inside, pallie.

Rat Pack rules.......2006-03-09

This is a fabulous collection of Sammy, Frank and Dean. Above all it is worth it just for the duet of Sammy Davis, Jr. and Frank Sinatra singing "Me and my shadow." It's pure magic.

A Real "Best Of" Package.......2004-07-21

Unlike other Rat Pack "Best of" compilations out there, which tend to be a collection of Frank Sinatra standards with a little Dean and even less of Sammy thrown in, this is a true, balanced package highlighting all three entertainers' talents equally.

Even more fun are two duets, "Sam's Song," and "Me and My Shadow" on the CD featuring Sammy and Dean and Frank and Sammy. These are a lot of fun to listen to. The musical repoire between these guys is pure magic.

This isn't one of the live discs - for one of those, check out "Rat Pack Live at the Sands" - but rather, a collection of studio material. But they're nice selections, 18 songs in all, and the CD flows. In fact, the ones they've chosen are particularly appropriate, as most of the songs are favorites of the Rat Pack - the ones they performed in their legendary shows.

Even if you already own a lot of Dean, Frank, and Sammy music, this is a nice collection to have.

Sitting on Top of the World.......2004-06-24

This album is not live album. It's just a collection of their songs. Released when remake of Ocean's Eleven is released. Sinatra is singin' "I'm Gonna Live Till I Die", "(Love Is) The Tender Trap", "Mr.Sucsess", "You Make Me Feel Son Young", "The Lady Is A Tramp", Chicago" and Witchcraft". You can also hear him dueting with Sammy Davis Jr. on "Me And My Shadow".
Dean Martin is singin' "Ain't That A Kick in A Head", "Volare", "When You're Smiling", "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You", "Sittin' On Top Of The World" and helping Sammy on "Sam's Song".
Sammy Davis Jr. is singin' "Too Close For Comfort", "A Lot Of Livin' To Do", "The Birth Of The Blues" and "Eee-O Eleven" and two previously mentioned duets.
The collection is great, sound too. So, Swing This, Baby!

Product Description

Singer, dancer, actress; stage, screen, television: Joey Heatherton is a multi-faceted jewel of a performer. She first came into public view right at the end of the Fifties, when she joined the Broadway cast of The Sound Of Music. In the Sixties, she was on television all the time. Route 66. I Spy. Mr. Novak. The Virginian. It Takes A Thief. Hullabaloo. The Dean Martin Show. And of course, all those Bob Hope USO tours. She also hit the big screen with the likes of Bette Davis, Susan Hayward, Richard Chamberlain, and Troy Donahue. She also recorded singles in the Sixties for Decca and Coral Records, platters that frequently trade in the three-figure range on eBay when they show up. And if you find one with a picture sleeve... forget it. Her first album came for MGM in 1972, and it is re-released here in its entirety, with covers of Patsy Clines Crazy and the Beach Boys God Only Knows among its 10 tracks. We have augmented this recording with those rare early singles and more, for a total of 21 songs. Joey has been involved with the project from its inception, right up to choosing the cover shots. All the photography in the package, by the way, is by noted lensman Harry Langdon. The record was remastered by Gavin Lurssen of The Mastering Lab in 2004 from the original master tapes, and it sounds as good as it looks.

Customer Reviews:

Joey Heatherton.......2007-05-31

This cd is lovely to look at but you may need to be a Joey fan to appreciate the music. This music is "of it's time" the 60's and 70's and over produced.Joey had a good voice but she would have been better served with simpler arrangements.The photos are beautiful.

Nostalgic but still good.......2007-05-30

Yes I remember the 60's and 70's! I bought this CD because I am a long time Joey Heatherton fan and recently discovered it was remastered on CD quite by accident. When it was first released I bought one because she used to do the USO tours when I was in the service. Besides being drop dead beautiful in her short dress and "go-go" boots (she still looks pretty good!) she had a great voice and terrific stage presence. The album cover has a nude (topless) photo of her, which by today's standards is pretty tame, but that made the records instantly collectable when it was first released. I did get to see her in person once but never got my album cover signed. Of course mine disappeared from my LP record (remember those?) collection many years ago, and when I saw this chance to replace it I did. Most of the music is in a "Vegas Showroom" style with a big band and some of it is pretty overproduced. She mostly sings songs that might be considered standards today.

However she has a great voice and for those of us aging fans that remember her USO days and/or her Playboy Magazine appearance it is still worth having. It's on my MP-3 player with the rest of my music collection and I still enjoy hearing her. Now if I could just fit back into my old uniform the nostaliga experience would be complete!

PASSIONATE & GORGEOUS VOCALS~BRAVO JOEY!!!.......2007-03-29

Great movies were commonplace in the wondrous sixties and "Where Love Has Gone" which was loosely based on the Lana Turner/Johnny Stompanato saga was an awesome Harold Robbins classic major motion picture starring screen legends Bette Davis and Susan Hayward, with the young daughter played by a young and beautiful Joey Heatherton who held her own next to the two giant Screen Legends and gave a fine and moving performance!!! A stunning stand-out with loads of charisma, Joey by the early 70's was a Vegas headliner and on the talk show circuit gave great song and dance performances which showed Joey Heatherton to be a world-class entertainer who could belt it out with the best of them...a wonderful MGM lp captured this talent in top-form and Joey's voice jumped out as a great voice on the radio as the single "Gone" comes off as a fantastic athem...Gershwin's classic "Someone To Watch Over Me" is electrifying and "Shake-A-Hand" is riveting with its gospel-edged arrangement! This collection features that wonderful lp in its entirety for the first time on cd along with fascinating and wildly entertaining bonus tracks which show that popular singers now are bland in comparsion to the great Joey Heatherton who should have gone on to Superstardom but was strangely derailed by life. Listening to these great songs and performances takes one back to a special time and place when the stage was lit up by an angel with a great voice and beautiful face...and could she ever dance!!! Hopefully a DVD of Joey performing will come next and a return to singing and performing would be a joy...too much talent not to! Bravo Joey!!!!

Love to have seen her live.......2007-03-16

First came across the name Joey Heatherton back in Vietnam days. Heard the song "Gone" on the radio a few years back and have been chasing a CD ever since. This CD is just fantastic. She can really sing. The clarity of her voice is outstanding - you can understand every word. Even though the bonus early songs are a sort of popsicles and icicles sound you can pick up the quality of her voice in them. The jacket type CD cover with the insert and all the pictures makes for a great production.

Just would have loved to have seen her perform live. She is the complete package; good looks, good singer - a Ferrari in top gear.

Great Music and Great Looks!.......2007-02-10

Joey is not only a very beautiful girl, but she sings some great songs as well. The CD cover itself is not censored like it is in the Amazon description. Also, it's not the only nice picture of her in this great set!

Boys Night Out suggests the accompaniment to a PG-13-rated bachelor party, with an implied narrative arc and a stack of appreciative tunes about, er, dames. Frank, Dean and Sammy are heard mostly in solo settings, but the upbeat mood and brassy arrangements make for a cohesive Three Musketeers atmosphere. The 19-track disc offers some real nuggets for Sinatra fans (the little-heard near-title track, two visits to Guys and Dolls from the Reprise Repertory Theater set on which the Rat Pack's leader took the Nathan Detroit role he'd lost to Marlon Brando on film), while bearing reminders of how one-of-a-kind each of his two pals sounded. Listeners who are planning on staying in for the evening will also dig this thoughtfully compiled album. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Fun, Upbeat, Good Time, just like a Boys Night Out........2007-07-10

Yeah it is not their most famous songs, but the songs are all great. This disc is just a fun disc. The songs are upbeat and well done. I have Live at the Sands and EEE-O-11 which are both live and fantastic but this one is my personal favorite.

Sammy, Frank and Dean could REALLY sell a song--and that's no small feat !!!.......2007-06-19

This CD gives us a great collection of classic pop standards performed by three of the greatest entertainers of the twentieth century: Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Dean Martin. Their performances on this CD are remarkably well polished; and every moment of this CD proves it.

The CD track set opens with the peppy "Here Goes" performed by Frank Sinatra. The arrangement moves at a great tempo and the horns are well used for "Here Goes." Frank's breezy and flashy delivery sparkles like gold and his voice is in excellent form, too. Sammy Davis also performs one of his signature songs entitled "Yes I Can." "Yes I Can" is semi-autobiographical; Sammy sings of how he believes that he can "go all the way" in his career as a professional entertainer. The piano, horns and drums help the melody move along with drama and flair; and Sammy plays with the tempo of his vocals to accomplish some great vocal gymnastics.

"We Open In Venice" is a playful tune about Frank, Dean and Sammy embarking on a tour of Italy; they harmonize well and their verbal interjections create a sense that they improvised this number although they probably practiced "We Open In Venice" until they got it just right. Another playful tune is Frank Sinatra's rendition of "Ol' MacDonald." Frank changes most of the nursery rhyme lyrics to make it a song about how he loves his woman; and this approach works very well. Love those chimes on "Ol' MacDonald," too!

Sammy Davis, Jr. comes back to sing a more traditional ballad with "There Is Nothin' Like A Dame" from South Pacific. Sammy sings this to perfection and the musical arrangement uses the horns and percussion well. Sammy, being Sammy, just can't resist playing with some of the lyrics and the tempo--and this boosts the quality of "There Is Nothin' Like A Dame."

Other gems on this CD include "Guys And Dolls" sung by Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra; they deliver this number with panache and masculine sensitivity. "Something's Gotta Give" features Sammy Davis, Jr. outdoing even himself as he delivers this without a superfluous note. His masculine warmth and energy render "Something's Gotta Give" an infectiously catchy number. Great! Frank performs "Just One Of Those Things" with passion, sensitivity and a worship of a love affair that stuns me with its high quality control.

The CD ends with a reprise of "Guys And Dolls" sung by Frank and Dean once again. Although many years have passed since this recording was made, the lyrics about men doing things to impress their women remain completely true to this day. Awesome!

The liner notes feature photos of Sammy, Frank and Dean with a blue hue to them; and there are a few quotes each provided about themselves and their work together. It's very sweet; but I would have liked an essay to be included in the liner notes. However, this is a minor disappointment.

Sammy Davis, Jr., Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin will remain three of the greatest entertainers that ever lived; and I doubt we'll ever see another group quite like them. They sang their hearts out, all the while making it seem so easy although we know it really wasn't. I highly recommend this CD for their fans; and fans of "The Rat Pack" will love this CD forever!

Enjoy!

Oceans 11.......2007-05-16

No doubt the experience to hear the collaboration of the original Players of Las Vegas- The Rat Pack. Pure enjoyment of a time gone past.

Fabulous CD.......2007-03-22

This is the cd to have if you love oldies. It is a must have if you are a rat pack fan. They did a great job on the remix.

Good stuff.......2006-08-29

This CD has titles that are not available anywhere else - a perfect addition to any collection.

Customer Reviews:

A New Favorite.......2007-01-23

Really enjoyed this CD. Had a great variety of different tunes and was upbeat, even on the slower numbers. This will definitely be a new Christmas tradition to be played year after year.

Christmas.......2007-01-22

Album is outstanding. Wanted to share it with my daughter. Delivery was extremely fast and dependable.

Christmas with the Rat Pack.......2007-01-10

Great CD for decorating the house. It was good to hear some of my favorites singing the holiday songs. It's very nostalgic!

Christmas With the Rat Pack.......2007-01-09

This is Dino at his best for Christmas and throw in Sammy & Frank, what
more could you ask for? If you are a Rat Packer, this is a must have to
complete your Christmas music collection.

Rat Pack Christmas CD.......2006-12-28

I was not at all impressed with this CD. Boring. My husband didn't like it either.

Just as irony is being pronounced dead, along comes this boozy holiday compilation to suggest that rumors of its demise may be premature. Given the culture's simmering lounge mania, this collection (with its cheesy homage/rip-off Oceans 11 art direction) may be belated--but hey, punctuality was never these swingin' cats' bag, Jack. The novelty of having three of the 20th century's most notorious sinners belt, whoop, and sing the praises of sleigh bells, roasting chestnuts, and the virgin birth would be enough to recommend this dizzy, 21-track delight, but there's actually some rewarding pop archaeology here as well. Two of the best tracks--Sammy Davis's ring-a-ding-ding romp through "Jingle Bells" and Dino's dreamy "Peace on Earth/Silent Night"--hail from a vintage, ultra-rare Reprise sampler. Sammy's typically over-the-top "Christmastime All Over the World" and Nat Cole tribute, "The Christmas Song," also make their CD debut. Dino's holiday TV specials yield more unreleased rarities: Sinatra-Martin duets of the loopy "Marshmallow World" and a touchingly tipsy take on "Auld Lang Syne" that suggests the boys have shared more than one cup of kindness. --Jerry McCulley

smooth christmas.......2007-01-11

a must have. perfect listening while putting up the tree and sipping on some spiked nog!!!

Rat Pack Christmas.......2007-01-09

I have alway loved the Rat Pack and this CD was just what I needed to remember why I love Christmas. Thanks

WONDERFUL CLASSY HOLIDAY ALBUM.......2006-12-31

If you're looking for the PERFECT album to accompany a CLASSY holiday dinner at your home - this is it. It doesn't get much classier than the RAT PACK and the delightful sounds of Frank, Sammy and Dean.

BUY THIS NOW. DON'T PASS GO - DON'T COLLECT $200 - JUST BUY IT! :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

A GREAT holiday album..........2006-10-31

I always love listening to this album and our company during the holidays always asks about it. A great find and a good gift for others.

Barely 5 stars.......2006-07-01

This was a tough one to rate as you have 3 legendary entertainers here who sang similiar songs but yet in completely different styles - if they all would have been the same, that'd be boring now....rite?.

The songs are solid as are the arrangements. What this album lacks is cohesiveness of moods. If you like variety, this album is great. If you're looking for a certain mood (e.g mellow fireplace etc.), then perhaps get a CD of one individual artist or even some of Nat King Cole's.

But overall, I liked this one and you can't go wrong on it. I prefer Dean's tunes on here the best as his warm voice is most suited to Christmas songs.

Average customer rating: Disappointed If you listen to this CD without smiling, there is something wrong!

Customer Reviews:

Disappointed.......2007-02-19

I was very disappointed with this CD. Dean and Frank sound drunk throughout most of the CD and the audience detracts from the songs.

If you listen to this CD without smiling, there is something wrong!.......2006-08-27

This CD is just so much fun. I'm too young to really remember the Rat Pack per se, but I remember the old movies. After purchasing a Frank Sinatra CD and just falling madly in love with the voice and the music I purchased this on a whim.

I drive along and this CD has me singing and laughing and it puts me in such a glorious mood! I wish they were still around as I would be in line at the Sands for a chance to see them.

Seperately Sammy, Frank and Deano are devine, superb, delicous. But together they are enchanting! You'll be so happy you bought this even if you've never even heard a single song by any of these three.

It's the Gold Standard in musical entertainment.
