Sinatraphile Scott Henderson, who provided the above song program, reports that this is a sad anniversary for him. He was at the Copps Coliseum October 9, 1993 in Hamilton and it would be the last time he saw Sinatra in concert. It was a benefit performance for the Kidney Foundation and both Sinatra and Don Rickles delighted the audience. Sinatra was delightful the entire night. Here is Henderson's personal account of the concert:
I had to drive three hours to Hamilton and tickets cost $53.25 each. Compare that to the Sky Dome from October2, 1989 when I had to shell out $79.50 for top seats that weren't so top or for floor seats at Maple Leaf Gardens November 11, 1991 to see Sinatra and Steve & Eydie at $88.50 a pop.
My best friend and I took the long drive down to Hamilton and we had such great seats that my friend kept thinking we were in the wrong seats and that security was going to come and remove us. He was with me at the Sky Dome in 1989 and, as I've said before, the seats were in the stratosphere and the fry machine at McDonald's keep drowning out the concert. Is it any wonder my friend wondered if we were in the wrong spots in Hamilton ?

Rickles was hilarious and he worked so well with Sinatra. This was at the time when Rickles had his TV show "Daddy Dearest" and was popular again. He actually mentioned the show during the concert and Sinatra's cameo on one of the episodes. It's a funny episode if you've been lucky enough to see it.

Sinatra muffed the lyrics only a little on All of Nothing at All, but for later Sinatra, he was in the zone. All in all a great concert. I'm not sure if that was his last Canadian concert but it was the last one he gave in Ontario . If I'd have known then that he was going to be with us for just under five years, I would have made it to other concerts no matter how far I had to drive.

Sinatraphile Vance Adair thanked Henderson for his first-hand account of the concert. He says he always loves to read first hand accounts of concert performances. It certainly sounds as though Sinatra was in form this particular night.

Kurt added:
Brian's mention of the October 1992 concert in New York at Radio City
Music Hall and Scott Henderson's tale of his 1993 experience (driving 3
hours to Hamilton, Ontario) brought to mind one of my own experiences.
My wife, 5-yr-old son, and I flew from Minneapolis to New York for one
of those Radio City concerts. It turned out to be memorable...but not
for the reasons you might expect. Even though we had tickets, we
arrived early because--- for those of you who don't know--- the
pre-concert "vibe" at a Sinatra performance was always very special. We
took our seats, the lights dimmed, and the orchestra began a medley of
Sinatra songs. Shirley MacLaine took the stage and managed to kill
about 45 minutes before the intermission. It was then that an
announcement came over the P.A. "Ladies and gentlemen, we regret to
announce that Frank Sinatra will be unable to appear this evening due to
illness." Obviously, this was a last-minute cancellation. A thunderous
roar erupted in the Hall and to say that people were upset would be an
understatement. (My son heard words that he had never heard before!)
But, there was nothing any of us could do so we simply went back to our
hotel and spent the rest of the evening trying to explain to a little
boy why the man we had come to see didn't appear. For us, it was the
concert that never was.
