I saw this great concert back in 1988. It cost me $200 for the ticket which was my weeks pay. The Sanctuary Cove opening was one of the best weekend's of my life.
@@Theslavedrivers "He was Frank" is a way of saying that, although he was getting on in years, his stage presence and reputation was such that he was still more watchable than any other entertainer. What would have been surprising would have been if he had been as good a singer at 72 as he was at 42. So your comment about the "start of the end" is like Sybil's in Fawlty Towers : the bleedin' obvious!
The man was suffering from early dementia and the year before had a life saving colon operation. I don't think it was an awful performance at all and he certainly wasn't drunk. Great analysis my friend.

If Mr Sinatra considered some songs of those years shallow can you imagine how he would feel about today's "music"?
One amazing guy..
Great interview. Thanks Clive.
Veeeeeeery cool. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you for enjoying my upload
I truly love Frank Sinatra interviews. He had an eloquent way of talking to interviewers and people in general. Great singer and a great guy.
I love this man so much
This is so cool!! Thank you for uploading this! Do you have the whole hour special to upload also? Thanks again!
People in Australia were awed 💟🎶🎶🎶🤗
Wonderful Entertainment they don't make them like Sinatra anymore a class act
Nice interview - Beginning of the end though, with the clear over-reliance on the teleprompter ,,,
Over-reliance? If the poor chap had advancing dementia, through no fault of his own, he needed the teleprompter. So what anyway? He was Frank.
@@SuperFerdie1965 Struggling to see what point you're making, fella ...

Have you not got a dictionary fella?
@@SuperFerdie1965 It's clearly a sub-standard performance - I still don't know if you agree with that, or not. 'He was Frank' tells me nothing.

Clive James well missed such a clever wit of a man
What year was this, about?
1988 apparently
AWFUL PERFORMANCE! Completely out of Sinatra's style. Maybe he was drunk!

What a clown obviously knows nothing about singin
