I think that subtitle describes this performance so well. This is a complete recording of a Live show from Dean Martin at the Sands Hotel, recorded February 8th, 1964. Lasting approximately one hour.
For those people who are into him singing songs properly, and not into his comedy, then you may want to give this one a miss. Since he only really manages to finish a few songs here without interruption. The act is basically him playing drunk, while going through songs, altering the words now and again to bring comedy to the show. Sometimes starting a song, and never even finishing it. There are plenty of monologues, full of jokes about his celebrity friends, like the great Bing Crosby (and of course Frank Sinatra). They are extremely funny, but this joking around, and not so much singing, will not appeal to all his fans. I might add though, that if you listen to more of his live performances, you do realize that the jokes are very similar, but then again, it was just an act.
The sound quality is pretty good. Well, in my opinion, it is very listenable throughout. Its not exactly great sound, but good enough, for sure. Since its not serious singing, it doesnt matter that it isnt the best anyways. The CD also includes liner notes (like most CDs do).
So basically, if you want to hear Dean Martin sing properly, buy one of his studio albums. But if you are one of those people who loves his comedy also, then this is a must buy. One of the best albums you could own. Highly recommended.
