The big, bold type on the front cover tells you all you need to know—these two guys, Sammy Davis Jr. and Buddy Rich, weren’t exactly shrinking violets when it came to roof-raising showmanship, and this 1966 album, recorded “live” in Las Vegas over a two-day period, is as raw, raucous and rockin’ as Sammy ever got. Buddy’s supersonic drum fills and cymbal crashes make even ballads like 'What Kind of Fool Am I; What Did I Have That I Don’t Have; What the World Needs Now', and 'If It’s the Last Thing I Do' swing like all get-out, while the up-tempo numbers—'Come Back to Me; I Know a Place; Once in Love with Amy; What Now My Love; Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone', and an off-the-wall treatment of 'Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead'—roll like a freight train! But while Buddy’s the engine, Sammy’s the driver, his tone and phrasing immaculate even as he wails. A great record
