About six years ago I had the pleasure of seeing Tony Bennett in concert at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis. Man, what a show he put on, backed by the Ralph Sharon trio. After that concert I ran out and purchased the  "Unplugged" cd that Tony recorded while taping for MTV. I have never been a  real fan of live recordings, but this one is exceptional. Tony has really  flourished since young people have re-discovered his work, and even though  he is getting older his work is still terrific.
