Commentary
During the concert, the singer makes some risque remarks. His spoken introduction to "One for My Baby" is an example. Of the song's protagonist, Sinatra had this to say:
- "It's obvious what his trouble is: Girls. Cherche la femme (Look for the girl). Which means in French Why don't you share the broad with me?"
Following his performance of "Ol' Man River", the singer states: "That song is about Sammy Davis's people. And 'dis is a song about my people," moving into "The Lady Is A Tramp".
Sinatra jokes through some of his vocal difficulties, commenting at one point that he should "avoid the pre-show onion soup", and that he's "gotta stop sleepin' in the park."
