A must for any rat pack fan. Just wish I was there to see it live. It seems like a time we'll never see again. Too Bad. Worth a purchase.
July 10, 2002 |  | An incredible collection. |  |
Firstly unless I'm mistaken (which of course has
never happened before ;) ) this title is also
the live at the villa in chicago 1962 two disc
collection.
This collection made me a fan of Sammy Davis Jr.
I have been a longtime Sinatra fan and knew Sammy
could dance and sing but until hearing this I
never realized just how talented the man was.
Sammy really is the star of the show on these discs.
Frank, of course, is Frank and Dean was his usual suave
self..but Sammy was the star with his wonderful singing
voice and impressions. By all means stop everything and
get this set, it's more than worth it. December 5, 2001

This is a must have for any die hard fans of the Rat Pack--particularly those of us who weren't fortunate enough to be around during their glory years. As Dino said "if you want singing by an album", but if you want to experience the swagger and charisma that was the rat pack at the height of their powers buy The Summit:In Concert.There's some quality vocalizing from all three--but what predominates is the silly, self-amused shtick for which these guys were known.Turn the lights down, mix a martini, and go back to a time when men were men, and these guys ruled!
December 1, 2001Invite your friends over, drink some martinis, and push play. The best party album I have ever heard. Play it over and over again - no one ever gets tired of listening to it. Now, how'd all these people getin-t-my room *hic*
March 30, 2001This is about the most fun you can have listening to a CD. This is not just a collection of songs. The entire show is captured, clowning around and all, to give you the feeling that you are sitting in the wings at this 1962 concert. Some of the reviews suggest that the second half of the CD, with the songs interrupted by jokes and often left unfinished, detracts from the album as a whole...don't listen to them! It adds to the feeling of being part of the fun happening on stage. This is one to listen to again and again.
