Singer Bobby Darin's last recorded performance is an entertaining look at a versatile, freewheeling talent. Taped in March 1973 in Los Angeles, the 70-minute show spotlights a finger-snappin', jive-talkin' hipster who combined Frank Sinatra's saloon-singer sophistication with Elvis Presley's blues/rock/country/R&B chops. Darin hits like "Splish Splash," the lovely "If I Were a Carpenter," and "Beyond the Sea" are included, along with the inevitable "Mack the Knife" (which is tacked onto the end and appears to come from another performance entirely) and a variety of other familiar tunes. Darin, of course, is the cynosure, telling jokes and stories, doing impressions, playing guitar, piano, and even some very decent blues harp. And while the tone of the show occasionally veers toward slick, Vegas-style vacuity, one can only wonder how brightly Darin's star might have shone had his chronically weak heart not given out nine months later, when he was just 37. --Sam Graham
Description:
Now for the first time, viewers get an up close and personal look at Darin's last television performance that was never aired! Presented in its original unedited format, audiences can experience the show from the front row, as if they were there. And although recorded in 1973, the vibrant color camera-work, lighting and audio production of NBC studios appear as current as Mr. Darin's timeless appeal. The DVD also features family photographs and never-before-released home movies of Bobby with his wife Sandra Dee and their son Dodd. Seldom-seen TV footage of The Andy Williams and Flip Wilson Shows and rare Hollywood trailers of his early feature films Come September and Pressure Point are included as well as commentary about Darin's Oscar-nominated role in Captain Newman, M.D. by the film's star Gregory Peck. Plus, the interactive discography makes the DVD an invaluable source on the Darin era.

I've been a firm believer and tauter of the genius of Bobby Darin ever since I saw this video run on my local PBS station. At first I was going to continue clicking past it when I thought it was just another episode of the Lawrence Welk show (sorry, it's just that everything looked like the Lawrence Welk show in the 70's) but then I heard Bobby sing. He was singing a Hank Williams tune and it was just dripping with soul. The look on the man's face, the sound of his voice, the way he moved, I could ... Read More

I have the VHS Tape & the DVD, just had to have a backup. I cannot imagine where Bobby got the energy to do this (his last recorded performance) knowing how ill he had been his last three years. The whole performance was great, and I just love his "Higher& Higher" and then "The Midnight Special" with all the movement is just so great. At the end such a wild Rock Ending. Not to be missed.

Quite possibly the best all-around entertainer to ever step on a stage! Bobby was head-and-shoulders above his contemporaries... and others. Darin DARED! He recorded material (Dr. Doolittle; Milord, included here and, en francais, no less!) others would not even attempt and more often than not was successful, artistically if not necessarily commercially.
This 4CD package represents a great cross-section of his work.
A superb talent, great material, a superb package from Rhino! Superb entertainment ... Read More
