I finally got to watch this: the final performance of the legendary Tony Bennett as he suffers Alzheimer's. Lady Gaga begins the show with her versions of the standards Tony and others of his time made popular. When the man himself comes on, we find out it's his 95th birthday as Lady and the audience sings "Happy Birthday" to him. Then Tony does his standards before he and Gaga do a couple of duets. The show ends with Tony doing his perhaps his most famous song, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" to great applause. The only flaw I found in the program was when Lady Gaga pointed her microphone to the audience during the "New York, New York" number, you couldn't hear the audience sing the word they probably sang. Other than that, this was a great send-off for Mr. Bennett, that's for sure!
