Goode - 8:31 15 Work Song [*] - 3:33 16 Beyond the Sea [*] - 4:20 .com On a cool February night in 1971, entertainer Bobby Darin gathered the friends, associates, and VIPs he'd flown in for the occasion to a sort of summit meeting in the Crystal Room of Las Vegas' Desert Inn. There and then, Darin again staked his claim as one of the most accomplished, versatile, and creatively unpredictable pop singers ever. Despite having traded his early teen idol incarnation for that of mature and ambitious saloon singer a decade earlier, Darin displays his uncanny knack for recasting contemporary rock and pop in his own image repeatedly here. The show may feature a loose, swinging rendition of "Mack the Knife" near the top of the set, and close with the spare, jazzy bonus version of "Beyond the Sea," but they bookend masterful takes on everything from James Taylor (a blues-charged "Fire and Rain") and BS&T's "Hi De Ho" to the Beatles (a medley of "Hey Jude"/"Eleanor Rigby"/"Blackbird"/"A Day in the Life" whose drama shames most contemporary pop covers) and a warm, elegant version of Dylan's "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight." His hit version of Tim Hardin's "If I Were A Carpenter" is shrewdly paired here with the poignant, Darin-penned anti-war anthem "Sing a Simple Song of Freedom" (which Hardin covered successfully), underscoring the willful genre-bending that made Darin so intriguing. -- Jerry McCulley ## Images ![Live At The Desert Inn - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UqeAS2AsL.jpg) ![Live At The Desert Inn - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AZmlJ+xFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A review for the reviewers *by '***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2006* After reading the reviews on this CD, I purchased it. My goodness, how much more I enjoyed each track after reading the descriptions of the songs. I don't know how you all know these stories, but THANK YOU for sharing them. My parents were musicians in an orchestra and when I started piano lessons, the first song I learned was "Mack the Knife". I was a little young when Bobby Darin passed away and am just now becoming acquainted with his music. This CD is so fun to listen to in the car, all alone. I love his banter...you feel like you're there. I first went to Las Vegas in 1974 when it was just a big town. The fun part after watching headliners, was to go sit in the lounge of whatever casino they were performing, and they would come out and sit and have a few drinks, often times right next to you. I did see Frank & Dean perform...never saw Bobby. Thanks again reviewers... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible live recording by Bobby Darin *by "***I on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2011* Bobby Darin as a live performer, was just as good as Elvis and possibly even a little better than Sinatra. Another reviewer described the backing band as having a "sameness house band sound" that tended to make singers who followed the "house charts" sound sort of schlocky. I think the band sounds awesome and in top form on this particular performance. Great version of Fire and Rain on here. Hi De Ho, and Chain of Fools. Incendiary versions of Dylan's "I'll be your baby Tonight" , Tim Hardin's "If I Were a Carpenter" and Bobby's "Simple Song of Freedom" and "Mack the Knife". They're selling this cheap as heck on Amazon, so what are you waiting for? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Bobby Darin Live at the Desert Inn *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2008* This cd is wonderful, for anyone who is a Bobby Darin fan or even if you are not, this cd is a must have. Bobby Darin was such a masterful entertainer, this was recorded lived at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas, has great songs on it and the monologue is tremendous. Bobby's rendition of Mack the Knife is as always perfectly done, he does a Beatles medley which could have only been done any better by the Beatles themselves, Your love keeps Lifting me Higher is just amazing. Very well done cd by the most extraordinarily versatile vocalist and entertainer the world has ever known.. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18323184-live-at-the-desert-inn](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18323184-live-at-the-desert-inn) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
