Tom Jones with Tower of Power

Did anyone hear Tom Jones and T.O.P. when they were performing together last year?

Any audio or video recordings available that you know of?

Thanks!

Interesting combination. My wife asked me last year to take her to a Tom Jones concert for her birthday. Reluctantly, I agreed. When the show started, and all the women began to scream I laughed at the absurdity of it all. By the third tune I was amazed how wrong I was. One of the slickest, most professional "Vegas" style shows I've ever seen. As the local newspaper critic stated, (and believe me, he hates just about everything nostalgic) "It was way, way better than anyone could have imagined possible". I guess I wasn't the only one there that was wrong.

I have a friend that was dragged "kickin' and screamin'" to see him at a casino. I saw him a couple of days later, he was still reeling. He said it blew him away. He said Tom Jones (and his band) ROCKED! He says it's one of the best live shows ever!

Exactly! And the guys pipes are still amazing...

I've always thought Tom Jones has a vocal style that would be a great match for T.O.P., and was chagrined to find that he'd performed with them and I'd missed it!

I sure hope someone has a link to a recording of them performing together!

Bumpety, Bumpety, Bump! Bump City!

I saw a Blues special on PBS awhile back and they kept going back to an all star band playing their favorite old blues songs . Jeff beck was on guitar , Van Morrison was playing acoustic gtr and piano? and Tom Jones was the lead singer and he could belt it out. I didnt really recognize alot of the others or I just cant remember them. They had some awesoem players though.
