Despite the excellence of his movie roles and recordings (especially the Sinatra-Riddle  Capitol "concept" albums), Sinatra was rarely at his best on television--his was not the "cozy" personality the little tube seemed best suited for--the Perry Como, Andy Williams, even Dean Martin and certainly Fred Rogers comfortable type.  So a viewer has to choose from the limited Sinatra TV videography with care.  Avoid the compilations (numerous quickly-assembled collections, poorly documented, with inferior production values).  Place the Sinatra special with Ella and Jobim ("A Man and His Music") at the very top of the list.  The second is probably the newly released "Sinatra at the Sands '78", available only on the five-disc set "Sinatra-Vegas."  "Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back" belongs no higher than third.  It clearly offers better music than his "official" coming out of retirement at Madison Square Garden in 1974 ("The Main Event"), which was, truth be told, not an artistic triumph.  Sinatra was, as happens to all singers, not in good voice on the two nights during which the event was held (especially the second, a "live" Sunday night telecast that was "painful" for some of us to listen to-- twice, when the Monday morning detractors at work began "piling on."  Some of us even questioned if he was not overly hasty in his decision to come back).
