Sinatra – The Main Event (TV program)

Sinatra: The Main Event was an ABC musical television special starring Frank Sinatra broadcast on October 13, 1974. The special documents a concert given by Sinatra at Madison Square Garden in New York City, in which Sinatra is accompanied by the Woody Herman band, and introduced by Howard Cosell.

The concert that was broadcast was the last of a series of six that Sinatra gave at Madison Square Garden in October 1974; the audio from the concerts had also been taped and the highlights would be released as The Main Event – Live. The saxophonist Jerry Doidgson who performed on the concerts felt that the televised performance was not as strong as the others as Sinatra's natural pacing of the concert was disrupted by the mechanisms of television production.
