• 24:33
  Speaker 15: was an old church. And they had the absolute best
• 24:37
  Speaker 15: acoustics in the world. And they had this reverb echo
• 24:40
  Speaker 15: chamber down in the basement that was the size of

  Speaker 5: Rock, you got to come back. You got to come
• 25:06

  Speaker 3: with Joey Lewis with the drink like this here, like
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: he used to look. And remember the words of Joey

  Speaker 3: years ago that was hidden the minute it was finished.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Warner Brothers stuck it in a closet somewhere, and I
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: couldn't blame them.

  Speaker 4: No, not really. It was kind of fun to make.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: It had in the picture....

  Speaker 4: took to shoot it.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: And Joey Bishop and the wonderful Mr. Crosby and a
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: whole bunch of people were in the picture. And in

  Speaker 3: at the top of the courthouse steps where I was
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: just acquitted. I finally won one in a movie. I've
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: been before more grand juries than a prosecutor.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: You think I'm joking? Check the records. Excuse me, madam.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I thought they gave up gold teeth, madam. I thought
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: they put all the porcelain in now.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: That's the worst joke I ever heard. Mother's ass life.

• 57:29
  Speaker 3: There's a medley of saloon songs for you that we
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: usually do one song, but this is a wonderful arrangement
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: done by Nelson Riddle of two sensational songs. First one
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: written by Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin, the second one
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: by Rodgers and Hart. And it tells the story, the
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: usual story of the poor guy whose chick has split
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: and left him holding a dram of grass and about
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: 68 cents on the kitchen table, and some bad claret
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: wine that she had about a month old or something
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: that she made herself. He knew that because one day
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: when she was new, she had purple feet. That's how
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: he found out she was making the wine.
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 58:20
  Speaker 9: Oh, geez.
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, so she left in the VW with four flats.
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: And I don't mean the key either. I mean the tires. Anyway,
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: here it is arranged by Nelson Riddle.
• 58:38
  Speaker 12: The night is bitter The stars have.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Lost their glitter.
• 58:59
  Speaker 16: The winds get colder And suddenly you're old.
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: And all because.
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: Of the gal who got away.
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: No more her eager calls The writings on the wall.
• 59:30
  Speaker 7: All those dreams you dreamed They have all gone astray.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: The gal who won you She's run off and undone
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: you That great beginning Has seen the final end I
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: don't know what happened.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: It's all a crazy.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 12: Game No more that all-time thrill.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 7: Because you have been put through the.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 32: Mill And never a new love will ever seem the same.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 16: Once I laughed when I heard her saying, That I'd
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 16: be playing solitaire Uneasy in my.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Easy chair.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 16: It never entered my mind.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: Once she told me I was mistaken.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 16: That I'd awaken with the sun And order orange juice.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 33: For one It never entered my mind.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: She had what I lack myself.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: Now I even have to scratch my back.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: Myself. Once she warned me.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 16: That if she scorned me I'd say a lover's prayer.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: Again and wish That she was.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 12: There again to get into my hair again.

  Speaker 2: This is Bolivar's Sinatra Showcase. This is both of us.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: Sinatra showcase with your host Joe Piscopo on music radio.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: This is both of us. Sinatra. showcase with your host
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: Joe Piscopo on music radio.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 20: All right.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 5: It's Piscopo on the radio. It's both of us. Sinatra showcase.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 5: Let's get back to to Caesars. 1978. It's funny because
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 5: there was a priest in the audience and Mr. Sinatra
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 5: took his microphone and started blessing the crowd with his microphone.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 5: So that's the way he starts it. And then I'm
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 5: going to let Mr. S talk into really one of
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 5: his finest performances from 1978 at Caesar's Palace.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: Now, we have something that's been a request here. A
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: friend of mine who comes every night to see the show,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: an old friend, is carrying a kind of a large torch.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: Truthfully, you don't know who he is, he's just a
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: friend of mine.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: And, drink here, but don't eat here. It's called an ajita,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: you know what ajita is? R-O-A-I-L-O-E-I-O-D-U-E-S. He asked me every
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: night to sing this song for him And I know
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: what that is there, about holding up one of them torches.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: Of course, I'm a good friend of Eddie Fisher's. And
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: Richard Burton.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: This is a song that's truly a request by Stephen Sondheim.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: And it's a strangely written song in the fact that
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: he's placed it in the locale or realm of a
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: circus tent. And there's about two people who have been
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: together for many, many years without putting the ring on
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: the finger. And one day, one of them gets restless
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: and decides to split. The other one at the same
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: moment says, I'd like to make it solid. So this
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: is the plea of the person who's waiting behind, being
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: left behind.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: Stephen Sondheim's Sending the Clowns. Isn't it rich? Are we
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: a pair?
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: Me here at last on the ground And you in.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 16: Midair Send in the clown.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: One who keeps tearing around And wonder who can to move.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 35: But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: Just when I stopped opening doors.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 16: Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: Making my entrance again with my usual.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 16: Flair So sure of my lines.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: And nobody's there.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 16: Don't you love a farce?
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: My fault, I fear.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 16: I thought that you'd want what I want I'm sorry,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 16: my dear.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 8: But where are the clouds? There ought to be clowns. Well,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 8: maybe next year.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 35: Isn't it rich?
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: Isn't it queer?
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: Losing my timing this late in my life.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: But where are the clowns?
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 35: Send in the clowns Don't bother, they're here.
• 1:14:31

• 1:15:56
  Speaker 5: Sinatra got married to Nancy Barbato, it was, it was
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 5: in Hoboken, I thought it was St. Anne's, Hoboken, Mary
• 1:16:01

• 1:16:08
  Speaker 5: where I perform with Vinnie Falcone, Vinnie Falcone came, and

  Speaker 5: he was conducting the orchestra, we had a great, great
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 5: celebration of the St. Anne's parish, and and that is
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 5: in Hoboken, but when Mr. Sinatra got married, he went
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 5: to Jersey City, which is wild, that's all about Jersey,
• 1:16:26

  Speaker 5: Frank Sinatra with Dean Martin watching him. Dean Martin surprised Mr.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 5: Sinatra on stage and sat down and watched the show. Buddies,
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 5: they were so, so, so close. Hey, can I go
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 5: back to jump forward to 1982? About that same time.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 5: And Vincent Falcone, again, I think it was so cool
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 5: that Vinnie was, again, the music kind of arranger, conductor,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 5: booker for Caesars. And then Mr. Sinatra picked him up
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 5: as a... his conductor years later, but this is Vincent
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 5: Falcone Jr. at the piano, and Mr. Sinatra in Vegas
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 5: in 1982 with just a killer version of I Can't
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 5: Get Started With You.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 6: Very much.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 3: Wonderful song by Vernon Duke and Ira Gershwin, made famous
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 3: by the great Bunny Berrigan. I'm a glum one, it's
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: explainable I met someone unattainable.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 4: Life's a bore. The world is my oyster. No more.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 3: In all those papers where I led the news with
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 3: my capers, now we'll spread the news.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 16: Superman turns out to be a flash in the pan
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 16: I've flown around the world in a plane Settled a
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 16: couple of revolutions in Spain And with kings I've a
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 16: la carte.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 4: Still I can't get started.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: With you.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 4: On the golf course I'm under par.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 16: Warner Brothers would love to make me a star.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 3: I got a house, my donna, what a house, it's
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: a show place. Still I can't get no place with you.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 38: You are supreme. Lyrics I write of you. Dream, dream
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 38: day and night of you Then I scheme just for
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 38: the sight of you But what.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 16: Good does it do in Cincinnati And even in Rangoon.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 4: I hum a few notes and all those chicks swoon.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 3: Still I'm so broken hearted because I can't get started
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 3: with you.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 5: There it is, Mr. Sinatra, indeed. I can't get started
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 5: with you with Vinnie Falcone at the end. I believe
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 5: it could have been Charlie Turner on the horn, I'm thinking,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 5: in the background. Just a great, great version. made famous
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 5: by a guy named Bunny Berrigan back in the day.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 5: So Mr. Sinatra signs with Steve Wynn, and he goes
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 5: to the Golden Nugget in Vegas. And I remember hearing,
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 5: I think it was Steve Wynn or somebody telling me
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 5: this story. Somebody told me this story where it wasn't
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 5: even finished. The theater, little theater, I saw that Nugget
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 5: Theater was very small, like maybe 500, 600 seats. And
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 5: there was no dressing room. And when they started bringing Mr.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 5: Sinatra in, He was ready to go on. And Steve
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 5: Wynn said to Frank Sinatra, Mr. S, all we got
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 5: is this elevator. It was an industrial kind of elevator
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 5: with both, you know, opens from the top and the bottom.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 5: And it was just an open elevator right before the showroom.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 5: And Mr. S said, not a problem. I'll change in
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 5: the elevator. So he did. He went the elevator, changed
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 5: the elevator, until, of course, Steve Wynn became legendary and
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 5: built those great properties out in Vegas. But do you
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 5: remember the commercials? Do you remember the Golden Nugget commercials
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 5: with Frank Sinatra and Steve Wynn? Elias, let me hear those,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 5: if I may.

• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: beautiful suites in the Golden Nugget of.
• 1:32:11

• 1:32:15

• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: Traveled each and every highway.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 16: And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 4: Regrets, I had a few.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 3: But then again, too few to mention.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 4: I did what I had to do I saw it
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 4: through Without exemption.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 3: I planned each charted course Each careful step Along the
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 3: byway and more Much more than this.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 4: I did it my way.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 34: Yes, there were times I guess you knew When I
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 34: bit off much more than I could chew But with
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 34: it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up,
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 34: then spit it out. I grew tall in spite of
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 34: it all and.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: Did it.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 4: My way. I've lost my laughter and pride. I had
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 4: my fill, my share of losing.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 16: And now as tears subside I find it's all.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 3: Quite amusing To think I did all that And may
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 3: I say, not.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 4: In a shy No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 4: It was my way. For what is a man? What
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 4: has he got? If not himself, then he has not.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 7: The things he truly feels And they're not the words
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 7: Of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows.
