NOTE: Sinatra Scholar Ed O'Brien reports that
during this session Sinatra keeps telling the
musicians that he left his voice at Chavez Ravine
(he attended the play-off game that afternoon
between the Dodgers and the Gaints.) Many people
considered the album a major disappointment. Six
of the ten songs were re-dos of great Capitol
recordings. The author, Peter Levinson, was at
the sessions and he remembers Sinatra adjusting
to the fast tempo set by the Basie band. He
slowed it down and did a lot of clip phrasing.
Levinson told O'Brien that it was fabulous to
watch these two evenings but they didn't transfer
onto the record all that well.

Ed
Ed O'Brien points out that this was the opening
concert of an Eastern tour. The acoustics in the
Garden were terrible. In future concerts, Sinatra
would comment on just how bad the sound was that
evening. He never played the Garden again.
Notes: "The House I Live In" & "My Way" Appear On
The CD The Main Event (Reprise). The Complete
Concert Was Recorded By Reprise It Remains Unreleased. TT 66mins.
Greg Palter writes:
Being from Boston this was my 1st Sinatra concert
as I was 11 years old and went with my dad...I
also agree that the acoustics at Boston Garden
were terrible...my dad and I through the years
drove to other states to see the Man...the
Providence Civic Center was better...not by much...but better+ --
Later in the tour, Frank had some comments to
make about the acoustics that night at The Garden. Never played there again.
