- This rare, live performance of one of Frank's most famous songs was divided into segments, with other songs performed in between each verse. So I edited those other songs out in order to present a (fairly) smooth, continuous rendering of the song.

I remember riding in my dad's Chrysler New Yorker in 1965 listening to this song with him on the day my father turned 35. It was a very good year.
how ironic. i was 17 when this was performed and now i’m in the autumn of my years.
I was thinking the same thing, but I'm transitioning into my winter years.
You've lived-thru a few great decades of music. (me too😉)
@@continentalgin Hopefully by the time "winter" comes you'll be able to gently smile to yourself. Memories and experiences unique to your generation. 🤙
@@KOLDBLU3ST33L Bill Hayley's Rock Around The Clock was a hit record when I was born in 1955. I've witnessed the entire history of rock and roll music!
I just turned 70. I have been thinking how much more relevant this song has become for me.
The arrangement on this track is sublime, and matched by the incomparable voice of Sinatra.
We are listening to perfection!
One of the most introspective songs ever written/and or performed...I remember being Very young when I first heard it, and for some reason I remember being silent while it played on our tube radio in our 61 pontiac...It was a very good year!!
Looks and sounds great for 50 years old and live with that times technology n all that partying drinking smoking he did n his voice is still so smooth n powerful
The chairman of the board
Ole blue eyes had no equals
Very poignant, a fave of mine. Thank you, Fred. This song takes me from my childhood years to my current much older years. And how things have changed. It is sad to me that I have lost 4 siblings, joining mom and dad in heaven. Oh, how I miss them so.
That's a lot of loss, Jeff. Hang in there until you join them.
@@FredFlix Thanks Fred! I appreciate you.
I always loved hearing Frank sing that song, but it makes me sad every time I hear it. Thanks for the memories, Fred!
I was born in 1965 and this to me is utter perfection . What an artist . RIP Mr Sinatra 🙏
played this at my beloved Dads funeral brings tears to my eyes 40 years after he loved Frank
Well done, Fred. The Chairman in full command. There is not a contemporary singer alive that could hold an audience like that.
Very true, Adam.
Only a few true artists come to center stage with such presence and staying power.
Balance his eloquent phrasing (anybody remember the Hoboken Five?), with the best orchestration money could buy and you can see why he reigned for so long.
As a young lad, I adopted the song as a life "template", to savor as much of life within the scant time I was allotted, constantly taking mental snapshots, to review in the "Autumn of my years"!
And he’s sitting with me at the table when I’m in black necklaces. This performance
Not even close…..only 1 Frank - sure there are other excellent singers and artists - but nobody will ever be in The Chairman’s league. Imagine how many nights he would sell out in Madison Garden if he was to come back from the dead….10? 20?
I like that, I feel like I did that same thing. Love love love this song and I have never seen him perform it, so thank you Fred! @@nealbradleigh5069
ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OF ALL TIME!!!
Class A editing Fred. The song always made me think about my life. Now I am in the Autumn of my life and the song is even more powerful. Frank Sinatra was a legend that cannot or ever will be duplicated.
Thanks, heart2heart.
fabulous song nobody dose it better pure class Mr frankie sinartra
Those strings! ❤
Rest in peace Mr Sinatra. There will never be another like Francis Albert. ❤
How time flies…so quickly,I had a very good year❤
My mom and dad loved to listen to Frank Sinatra. I love to listen to Sinatra and remember sitting with my mom and dad. They are with God and Frank
You just get better and better. I remember when this song came out. It was a very good year.
Franky - The Legend - one of my favorite song from him....massive resonance in me...!
Truly is Sinatra's Song. Other Vocalists may cover it but only FRANCIS ALBERT makes it real. Chilling to see him sing it at a "young looking fifty" to the later years of the bulging Tuxedo and White-Gray hair. Got to see him in '91, breathing the same air. A very special night. Poured himself a drink from the bar wheeled on stage and bummed a smoke from a Lady in the front row!
We used to think how old he was looking then. Now it's the opposite.
It's like the 68 Elvis concert. We thought he was over the hill but he was still in his prime.
I sure did love listening and watching this video... A excellent performance and an excellent job with your editing!
THANK YOU SO MUCH 💓
Thank you Fred.
I've searched for years for Sinatra performing this great song live!
You're welcome, Grey.
Superbly done, Fred. The song has extra poignancy for me, considering my age and the fact that I'm on the verge of retirement.
you dont have to retire or worry about your age. nostalgia and melancholy not a good idea.just a song....beautiful but you have to not get too into the memories
Sheer Talent, unrivaled.
THE VOICE, ol' Blue Eyes,
Greets, Jaanukka,🎉musicaddict.❤❤
Every time I hear this song it brings back memories of my daddy he used to sing it to me
beautifuly done fred! i always liked this song by him. my favorite of his though is ''summer wind'' thank you for sharing this!
Summer Wind is a great one, Rob.
@@FredFlix True Nelson Riddle did a fantastic job of arranging that album
Beautiful edit! Thank you🎶 This is one of my favorites of his.
It was fun to edit, LM.
This is so good. I get a bit misty when hearing this song.
I am also in the Autumn of my years at 76..Thanks for all the great memories both good and not so good..Sometimes you do not know how great things were back then ..until you compare how things are today..
Well said, 555ss.
Perfect! 👏 This song reminds me to be thankful for all the years that I’ve lived.
I remember seeing this when it was aired. Great edit. Thanks
Thank you, Scott.
Fred-thank you so much for re-editing this performance as just this one song-one of the most beautiful records ever made!!! Simply The Chairman of The Board at his absolute finest!!!👍👍🌟👏😎❤️🎤🎼🎧🤗🥇🏆SUPERB!!!
You're most welcome, James.
@@FredFlix Indeed-A classic track!!!
A classic track from Frank. I’ve included it on a few of my playlists.
This is a beautiful arrangement of the song!
A very nice edited song.
Makes me cry. So beautiful
Such a smart idea to do this Fred. Very nicely edited. A lovely song, perfectly delivered by the boss of bosses.
You are a person of rare taste, Ferdie.
PURE GENIUS - MASTERPIECE !
Glad you enjoyed it, Mike.
My favorite FS tune.
Thankyou love frank and dino awesome guys
Fred.....I watch this video you did every night that I watch videos for 3 hours. You did a great job on this one. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us...........Betsy Basile
Thanks a lot, Betsy. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Born in 1960. It was a very good year.
Awesome. Thank you! I always love your videos...
Great editing, it really flowed well!
Thanks, Richard.
Mr. Flix....I am back tonight. I just love what you accomplished with this song. I will be watching it every night. Thank you for the reply you left for me......Betsy Basile
Got something in my eye.....
A great job you did on this one. Can't find one any better or him live on stage, just on the cover of one of his albums. Thank you Fred Flix for this one.......Betsy Basile
You're welcome, Betsy.
One of my relatives made a compilation CD for my dad's sister (RIP) and her husband on their 50th anniversary a decade or so ago, and this song was on it. I really like this song, it was one of my favorites on the compilation.
This is a sad song. I remembered seeing this on a Laugh-In sketch about a guy who was getting ready to go to war.. World war II and two tours of Vietnam, I think.
I love this tune and hearing it on the Sopranos at the beginning of season 3 just did it for me! Love Frank 💯
Its the beginning of season 2 the beginning of season 3 was the daily routine through the eyes of the fbi
Mister the Voice for ever🙏🏼💞🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🐾🐾🐾👏👏👏👏👏😘💐🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks for sharing👍
No words for this
Yes, Fred. This was a very good vid. Thanks. 🎵🎶🎵💜🤟
Maybe one day they'll think of my videos as "vintage wine from fine old kegs," Mercedes.
@@FredFlix Who knows? Maybe many of us already think so. 🍷💜🤟
That was great the way you put that together. Very classy performance with the orchestra. Frank's voice was immaculate
Glad you liked it, BT.
@@FredFlix That was very well done. Any way to hear it with the other songs? Sounds really interesting.
@@rodneystanger1651 You mean the other songs he sang in between the verses? That wouldn't work in this case.
@@FredFlix Thanks for getting back. Okay then, I just thought it was a medley or something. Frank live is always a treat.
This was on the jukebox at the enlisted men's club in 1966 at an Army base in the Virginia mountains where the Marine Corps 2nd Tank Battalion held winter survival training. In the 2 weeks we were there I must have heard this song 500 times.
Fred.............What a great job you did to piece this one together. It was one of my favorites that Frank did. Hope you have a nice holiday weekend.......Thanks again of sharing......Betsy Basile

Beautifully nostalgic song by the Chairman. He could make songs most meaningful by the his narrative style of singing.
You could teach a few other youtubers how to edit. This was seamless. Very nice.
Very well done, thanks Fred Flix.

Goosebumps...

Epic, This Album was Grammy Album of the Year in 1966, 1967 The Beatles won with Sgt Peppers! Talk about a Paradigm shift in the Universe
