A Rare Find

"Finding any live performances is gettng harder and harder. Vic Damone has made countless TV appearances but unfortunately those tapes are either lost or are in other performers programs....in other words, if you want Vic Damone on tape, you have to purchase a lot of programs.

Even with a slight cold as Vic states in the performance, Vic Damone still has perhaps one of the best voices around.

Wish the program was longer than an hour.."

The Sound Engineer(s) Should Be Shot...

"As previously mentioned, a DVD of Vic Damone - one of the truly GREAT American singers - is a rare find and, as he has apparently retired, a very collectable souvenir of this wonderful performer. This DVD, circa 1985, from England (where Mr. Damone is lovingly appreciated), presents a mature version of the Vic Damone, remembered from the forties' MGM musicals and the TV variety shows of the fifties, sixties and seventies. The Voice is Still There and, even with a cold, Mr. Damone is masterful - gliding majestically over some beautiful songs of yesteryear. Unfortunately, the sound is marred by poor recording equipment and technique, that interferes with the quality of this rare concert...regularly distorting the sound of both the singer and his adoring audience. Mr. Damone clearly deserves better as does his legion of fans."
