1980s- #2: In 1988, the legendary Rat Pack - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr - announced a reunion tour, entitled Together Again. They scheduled 29 concerts, opening on March 13 in Oakland and closing on April 9 in New York City, the last night of 4 in the Big Apple. Unfortunately, after just 6 shows, Dean Martin dropped out of the tour, citing health issues. Dean was clearly in no shape to perform as during his time on the tour he constantly forgot lyrics and slurred his words, Frank and Sammy, in the grand tradition that "the show must go on", continued the tour as a duo. Later, Liza Minnelli joined Frank and Sammy as part of the tour. This TV soundboard recording captures Sammy's set on opening night in Oakland, on March 13, 1988, 38 years ago today.
