Sinatra at the London Palladium. Anyone going?
In the sixties I was a member of the Harold Davidson Organisation (agent) where tickets were available before going on sale to the general public.
Sinatra came up and I wasn't interested. Next time, didn't take them up either and the tickets were selling via The Evening Standard for many times their value. I only lamented my monetary loss.
What the Hell was I thinking? When I see him now on film I can't believe I turned down the opportunity. This from someone who skived off from work to watch Fred and Ginge films at actual cinemas, singing the songs Sinatra sang later. I was such a fool.
Anyway, I have one ticket for July, the Sinatra family don't seem to have much idea but hope it'll be at least in place by then.
Any one else from here going?

I'm more into his era with Dorsey etc., although a particular album favourite of mine is is "Nice 'n' Easy."
For many, Sinatra records were an aid to create an intimate environment with a member of the opposite sex. This would be in complete contrast to a show that you've mentioned. I'm sure it will be well received, but not by people with similar tastes to mine.
But thanks for the "heads up" anyway.
I think you've deleted the paragraph that explains what you've actually bought a ticket for.

This was one of those, "you liked it or you hated it albums," personally I thought you could recognise a marked deterioration in the quality of his voice by that date.
He really sounded best with his "emotive" songs. I think he was at his best in the fifties.
This is my all-time favourite, it's a bonus track on the "Nice 'n' Easy" CD I have.
It was also issued as as 45rpm record and this is it on one of my jukeboxes.
