I've probably listened to it 500 times.

I need to pull that one out and give it a listen. I have it, but so far haven't played it other than maybe once. I bought a CD copy for just a dollar or two a few years back, remembering that I'd read somewhere that this is one of the better recordings of his. I haven't fully come around to Sinatra, but I may be on my way. I've been a jazz fan since my late teens, but was initially only into what I felt was the edgier music, but now I can get into standards (I play drums in a band that does that kind of thing) and from there I've dipped my toes into a bit of vocal jazz. From that point, I might be ready for Sinatra, even if part of my brain feels that it's the kind of crusty old music that my dad liked, that we never connected on. I have heard some Sinatra stuff in recent years that I liked a bit, usually because of the arrangements and the playing, as much as for Sinatra himself.

‘Live at the Sands’ is exceptional.

You can hear the glasses tinkling as the waitresses serve drinks. You really get the feeling of being in the audience.
 

Van Morrison in his "Too Late to Stop Now" era

and no one has ever rocked harder in kilts than Big Country
 
Live can be very hit or miss. Get it right and it’s amazing, get it wrong and it’s unlistenable.

My fave is a R2R bootleg of Fred Hibbert….it makes me feel like I was there
 
I have a live two-LP album called "Jazz at the Pawnshop" by Arne Domnerus and others. Excellent live recording with really good sound quality and toe-tapping tunes. It's my all-time favorite. Problem it had was that it was played to death at audio shows demoing equipment. I just put the album away for a couple of weeks to let it refresh itself, and now I can enjoy it again.
