Allmusic review:
In many ways, Sinatra At The Sands is the definitive portrait of Frank Sinatra in the ’60s. Recorded in April of 1966, At The Sands is the first commercially released live Frank Sinatra album, recorded at a relaxed Las Vegas club show. For these dates at the Sands, Sinatra worked with Count Basie and his orchestra, which was conducted by Quincy Jones. Like any of his concerts, the material was fairly predictable, with his standard show numbers punctuated by some nice surprises. Throughout the show, Sinatra is in fine voice, turning in a particularly affecting version of “Angel Eyes.” He is also in fine humor, constantly joking with the audience and the band, as well as delivering an entertaining, if rambling, monologue halfway through the album. Some of the humor has dated poorly, appearing insensitive, but that sentiment cannot be applied to the music. Basie and the orchestra are swinging and dynamic, inspiring a textured, dramatic, and thoroughly enjoyable performance from Sinatra.

Come Fly With Me
Frank Sinatra Lyrics


Come fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come on fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away

Come fly with me, will float down to Peru
In llama-land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come on fly with me, we'll float down in the blue

Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide
Starry-eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You might hear
All the angels cheer because we're together

Weather-wise, it's such a lovely day
Just say those words and we'll beat those birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come on fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away, we'll fly

Once I get you up there
Where the air is so rarefied
We'll gonna glide
Absolutely petrified
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so awfully near
You might even hear
A gang of angels cheer just because we're together

Weather-wise, it's such a groovy day
You just say that words and I'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they do say
Come on fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly
Pack up let's fly away
