If you are a fan of Mr. Bennett’s live performances, I recommend that you download the iTunes Festival: London 2010 EP set of six songs, performed live in London. These recordings do not (as yet) exist on any released album. They are, without a doubt, on the top of my favorite cuts of his. Included on the set is:
- The Best Is Yet To Come
- Maybe This Time
- Sing You Sinners
- Smile
- Who Care (So Long As You Care For Me)
- For Once In My Life
If you’re not already a fan of his live performances, well, you’re missing something wonderful. Again, try this set for $5.99.
Mr. Bennett is accompanied by Lee Musiker (piano), Gray Sargent (guitar), Marshall Wood (bass) and Harold Jones (drums). The quartet is wonderful–on this EP set as well as in the live performances I’ve seen.
This link will take to you the proper location in ITunes. If you already have this, consider gifting it to a friend.
[…] The Song of the Day is from the musical Cabaret and was written by John Kander (music) and Fred Ebb (lyrics). Tony’s first recording was on Here’s To The Ladies in 1995 and was compiled on the fifth CD of Fifty Years of Tony Bennett. Tony has sung this song at every concert of his I’ve attended. My favorite version of this song is from the London 2010 iTunes festival and can be purchased from iTunes. I’ve written about this live set already in The Best $5.99 You’ll Ever Spend. […]
