Hit: 4 Stars
Good selection of his works but I wish there had been more of HIS works instead of covers from his TV show. The same applies for the DVD portion. I would have left off "Song Song Blue" and some of the others and used footage of him doing his own music (A Nightingale Sang in Barkley Square or I'm Begining to See the Light, for example) for a "real" audience instead of a TV studio audience. The Lost Documentary Footage was interesting to watch one time but I'll probably never watch it again. I'd have preferred the space be used for concert footage.Free Music Review: Aces Back to Back

The songs are great on the CD. Part of the reason I bought this was for the DVD of some his live performances. Turns outs most of those clips were chopped from his last recorded performance in 1973 and inserted in the DVD, so you don't get any of his live act between songs.
If you are just buying this for the DVD footage, I recommend, "Bobby Darin, Mack is Back!" DVD. It has the whole, uncut, live performance, including banter between sets and extra songs.

If you are a true Bobby Darin fan you already have all this, most of this DVD was already in "The Mack is Back".Free Music Review: Concert performances back to back
Hit: 2 Stars
With little to no warning on the CD package, this CD is 100% concert performances. There is not one original recording in the whole thing. For a seasoned Bobby Darin fan, that may be just fine. But for people who are new to Bobby Darin (or any musician for that matter), you should never begin with concert performances, but with original recordings. That way the listener can get a feel for the singer and his songs. I wish I had done a little more homework before buying ACES BACK TO BACK. I wish I had purchased a Bobby Darin CD which featured only Bobby Darin, singing the songs he is best known for (although those songs are featured on this CD) and singing them the way he is best known for.
