Just a man in a tux with a band. No fireworks, no flashy gimmicks, for a man singing songs decades old and I bet the cheapest seat in the house cost about $1,000. That's true talent right there. Respect Frank, only regret is I'll never get to see you perform.
Francis would often just walk on without any fanfare. I saw him in my country, but to see him in NYC would have been the ultimate experience, or perhaps in London.
TheCliffPhilShow Geez, lucky you. I only saw him twice. The first time, Sam outshone both Frank and Liza, Sam was so damned good that night. The 2nd time Frank was 75 and Sam had gone, it was '91 and he was with Steve and Eydie, needing a helping hand, vocally speaking. Steve Lawrence said to Frank: you sit back and do Milli Vanill (miming) and leave this one up to us. Eydie Gorme did sing something which she said was written by Frank Sinatra, I forgot what it was.
I was very fortunate to see Frank 12 times including Carnegie Hall. I saw him at Radio City, Forest Hills, Long Island Coliseum, Caesar’s Palace, etc. The energy of him just walking on to the stage with no introduction was palpable. I was enthralled with every performance. The last I saw him was at a private concert in Cincinnati in I believe Christmas time 1993. He was not on top of his game but he was amazing. Pete Hamill once said that seeing Sinatra towards the end was like seeing the Coliseum in Rome, sure it’s old and beat up but it is still magnificent! Thank you Frances Albert for so much joy. You were the greatest!
His lyrics had very often some changes, or added words, etc... Maybe sometimes he got confused, maybe sometimes he did it on purpose, we can se both here in the same song, but he always, always, always, managed that in a unique style, he was the best.
I've watched numerous Sinatra live performances and I understand fans may prefer one specific live performance of a song over another. However, if you had the charisma, style and timelessness of Frank Sinatra, he could pretty much "belch" New York, New York and the die hard fans would say it was a unique version. I think the biggest lesson taken away from every performance is that he never stops enjoying his performances--he is happy, confident, grateful, sometimes even goofy or changing the lyrics. But above all, he's still having fun. I hope I can have the same spirit about life when I reach that age.
This brings back wonderful memories of seeing Frank for the first time in London in September 1980. I cried when he came on stage. One of the best days of my life and there have been many, many good ones.
This song for me will forever remind me of some of the greatest Yankee wins i have ever seen. Nothing makes me feel better then when this plays at Yankee stadium after the Yankees inflict a tough loss on the Red Sox and i get to see the looks on red sox players faces. Lets go Yankees we need to hear this song alot in 2016.
It was on this day, March 14, in 1998; that an icon in the music and entertainment industry departed his corporal body. Frank Sinatra was just a skinny Italian boy from Hoboken, NewJersey who wanted to sing. His career is full of magic in both his music and his personality. One thing is for sure, Frank Sinatra will be remembered in the same category as Elvis, Michael Jackson and other artists that changed not just music but ourselves, too.
I used to take a lot of day trips into New York City. However, since this coronavirus exploded, I haven’t been able to it. I miss New York so much it hurts. It is a grand city and it has everything. It is my favorite city.
I hate seeing these dislikes on all Sinatra's songs. It's just best too ignore these haters who have hate for other people because the people who like his music knows it's good and that's what counts.
Focus on good things. Else you'll see and find what you DON'T want, everywhere, all the time. You're bringing the hate here. The overused word itself, fuelling the fire. Using thrice under a video you love, who ever taught you to use bad words so vainly? Any any on the planet that spoke or wrote that way? Who's your idol in commentary?
Lookup Sinatra New York 1990 he sings this it's bad quality and done by a handheld camcorder but if you listen close to just his voice it's the best he's ever sang this song, period. He gave it literally his all in that particular performance. You can really feel it it's so emotional the crowd goes crazy
To the showman, to the artist, to the voice, to the man.... the best tribute to the little town blues....in all New York.... beautiful big apple. RIP Frank Sinatra the voice
Это правда .я никогда не пишу то чего нпбыло ясно .! Молодеж .?! Вы до сих пор смотрите мои фильмы. Всё это отдавала и их снимали и оскаров 8 полвчили.ясно ! Один чел. Знает об этом но молчит.вот так❤😂🎉
This song in the 1970s, when New York City was taking it on the chin, took the city off the ropes and began to stand up. By 1980 in Carnegie Hall when Sinatra began to sing it - and the Yankees began to win again - the city got its legs again. (This is not a sports comment but a cultural one.) People remembered why New York was important and, well, lovely. Here's to you Frankie (as my Mom used to call him).
Великолепно и так естественно разговпривает с нами в песне ! На 80 летие я заказала концерт с молодым другом они пели особенно . Френк так нежно и с таким необыкновенным чуством .❤🎉 Перевести на английский❤😂🎉
His best tune by far. I remember when it came out and was on the radio way back in the day. It was the first Sinatra song I really liked, and that lead to a greater appreciation for his talents.
Ah the memory slips - he sounds good though. 79-80 was a late peak - saw him in 79 in San Francisco at Masonic Temple, first time he had been to SF in decades - seemed to be having the time of his life, and he was in fine, fine voice. A thrilling concert.
This was an "early" live version of New York, New York" by Sinatra....it had come out only recently by the time of this 1980 concert (song came out in 1979) and he had not yet developed or "fleshed it out" it into the big, brash show closer it became (info about this can be found in several books on Sinatra songs). So...while he is great as usual here, his later performances of it are more grand and swinging with even more put into it by Sinatra with his showmanship.
look what he did in his life, sings New York = Instant Classic. Chicago = Somewhat less Classic, but Still classic. Paris = Classic. Everything he sang turned to gold as far as im concerned
Dzięki za taką pieśń i WSPANIAŁE WYKONANIE dla ŚWIATA danke w interesie Polski i Europy spas iba thank You dziękuję bardzo za taką pieśń i WSPANIAŁE WYKONANIE dla ŚWIATA
@lolr66 Hey pal, I was there the week after this show -- 12th row -- the guy never left the stage for a full 90 minute show. It was truly a spectacular show. Drunk? I don't think so. Sinatra was a true professional entertainer.

+BlazerManiacNumber96 I saw him perform, and he was great. A true showman who knew how to entertain, not just sing.
Francis would often just walk on without any fanfare. I saw him in my country, but to see him in NYC would have been the ultimate experience, or perhaps in London.
Saw him 3 times in the 1980's and each time he was better than the first!-Phil of The Ciff&Phil Show.:)

What a great post.
It’s a ruin but still magnificent to see. Love that
"I want to be a part of it, in old New York...", some of the finest lyrics I've ever heard.
fantastico y unico
His lyrics had very often some changes, or added words, etc... Maybe sometimes he got confused, maybe sometimes he did it on purpose, we can se both here in the same song, but he always, always, always, managed that in a unique style, he was the best.
Frank Sinatra singing New York, New York is simply - utter coolness & class personified
18 years old over here and would easily spend my stash of cash on seeing him perform live! G-d I wish he was still with us.
Man, what a legend hes just absolutely timeless.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. NEW YORK WAS A VERY POULAR PLACE IN THE 80S!!!!! NO JOKE !!!!

THANK YOU FOR THE MANY HAPPY MEMORIES!!!!
what happened to our society? I'm 15 and I think this is truly REAL music. It has more meaning to it.
Nothing but pure class

Nothing makes me feel better then when this plays at Yankee stadium after the Yankees inflict a tough loss on the Red Sox and i get to see the looks on red sox players faces.

right there with you man
Lindo demais adoro
Remember New York, we are stronger together and we are together. You are not alone. Stay strong!! Greetings from eastern Pennsylvania.
This is pure class. I may be young, for me this timeless music from an era where the songs were big, and artists dressed in keeping with that era.

Susan Rastella your comment is correctomondo!
Lauri Huuskonen
A charismatic man.
Susan Rastella I think you meant to say May 14
Jorge Longoria You got me - just a another OPM. 👵
Wonderful, clear voice. Love Frank's voice and this is a great song.
He was a great fond of the country where he was born. Chicago, New York, America. Lucky country having a son like him
I saw him in Phoenix, December of '93 just days before his birthday; the whole audience sang "Happy Birthday" to him. One very memorable night.
I used to take a lot of day trips into New York City. However, since this coronavirus exploded, I haven’t been able to it. I miss New York so much it hurts. It is a grand city and it has everything. It is my favorite city.
I grew up with that classic song in 70s./80s in NYC. Classic 2020?!!
AWESOME!! NYC is my favorite city!!
I miss this, but I'm glad to have lived through his signing! and movies too!
And that's how you get a standing ovation... incredible.
The man❤
The myth❤
The legend ❤
The VOICE ❤
A MASTERPIECE!
Classic Sinatra 🙏🏻

One of the best signature voices of all time. Old blue eyes could croon. RIP Frank...Your music lives forever
As always, perfect tempo, brilliant enunciation, and an exceptional performance. Nothing less from Francis Albert Sinatra.
What could I say about The Voice, about his greatest iconic song, just listen, and listen, and enjoying his performance.Frank forever
Old Blue-eyes, he still gives me goosebumps!!
The Best Singer,singing about the Best City.Mmmmmmmm

The best version!
God, I'm so happy
studio version entered Billboard May 3, 1980 ..reached #32 (his last top 40 single).
Whoever saw him live is one lucky lucky lucky person
Never saw him move so much to this. Perhaps, taking a cue from Elvis?
Love that piano slide at 3:15 !!!
FANTASTIC! BRAVO FRANKIE
frank sinatra will always be the king to me i will never forget his music frankie for ever in are hearts.
the greatest performer of the 20th century
Favorite part of this version 2:44
HE IS REALLY GREAT!!!!!

FRANK SINATRA'S New York, New York is His Last HOT 40 Hit in Billboard on 5/31/1980 at No. 32 for 6 Weeks on Reprise Records (A Time Warner Company).
Oh Frank, you stole so many hearts❤❤❤❤

look what he did in his life, sings New York = Instant Classic. Chicago = Somewhat less Classic, but Still classic. Paris = Classic. Everything he sang turned to gold as far as im concerned
Milwaukee! And Trenton! Wondeful Towns!

Sinatra was great live!! He had the magic!!
Legend.
He repeated a lyric when he forgot the line 0:37 I only am pointing this out because of how much I love Frank Sinatra
ВСЕ ПРОФИ ЗНАЮТ. И ВОСХИЩЕНИЯ НЕТ ПРИДЕЛА. РЕБЯТА ИГРАЮТ С ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНО.. ЛЕГЕНДЫ НЕ УМИРАЮТ. ЖИВУТ В НАС СВАМИ.
you never lose it
dang, all of them in this time are old and still playing.
Happy 100th Bday, Frank!
Sinatra is so cool that he can mix up the lyrics and it still sounds great
@lolr66 Hey pal, I was there the week after this show -- 12th row -- the guy never left the stage for a full 90 minute show. It was truly a spectacular show. Drunk? I don't think so. Sinatra was a true professional entertainer.
@TrafficNetworkGroup wish he had a show now in Vegas..I'd get a front row seat!
Frank will always be king of the theme New York, New York.
No one did like Frank, amazing....
Most people say this is his Greatests Song
Regret....I never saw him sing in person. Such a great entertainer.
I love New York
Fantastic!
