	Notes:
	
	Teamsters benefit for Dismas House of St Louis (a halfway house 
	for ex-cons).  The guys sing "Happy Birthday" to Tina Sinatra 
	(born on 48-June-20) on Track 19.

	* Johnny Carson substitued for Joey Bishop as MC (saying Joey 
	  had injured his back "bowing himself out of Frank's presence") 


Review from Amazon.com:

Live and Swingin’ is undoubtedly for those who already own some of 
the guys’ worthier recordings. Oh, but the guys? Frank, Dean, and 
Sammy (or, as Jackie Mason had it on The Simpsons, "the Candy Man!"). 
For most anyone who cares, though, this is a must-buy item: a slightly 
edited version of the 1962 Villa Venice tapes along with a DVD that 
preserves a rarely seen, full-length serious/funny/anarchic Rat Pack 
performance from ’65. (For sentimentalists’ sake, it was taped on 
Tina Sinatra’s 17th birthday; she makes a brief appearance onstage 
with the fellas).  All kidding aside, the trio makes with the serious 
singing, though perhaps those who came to hear Sammy get through an 
entire mini-set without interruption will want to go elsewhere, as 
his partners’ shtick barely allows him to finish a line, much less 
a song. Sinatra aficionados will find the DVD indispensable, as he 
paws his way through a mellow version of "My Kind of Town" 
(benefit location "St. Louis"!) and "Fly Me to the Moon".
