TOM JONES
Hammersmith Odeon 1989 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, 1989. Very good FM broadcast.
Many established acts play the Las Vegas circuit usually in their twilight years but Tom Jones played Las Vegas as early as 1967 with hits such as Green Green Grass Of Home, What’s New Pussycat?, Help Yourself and Delilah under his belt. By then, he had also done the Thunderball theme song in 1965.
As the wikipedia noted, “In 1968, starting at New York’s Copacabana night club, women would swoon and scream, and some would throw their knickers on stage. Soon after, Tom Jones began to play Las Vegas and began recording less, choosing to concentrate on his lucrative club performances.”
Apart from It’s Not Unusual (1965) and Green, Green Grass Of Home (1967), Tom Jones was not really an album artist. Even these two albums were more “singles” oriented and with his strong voice, magnetic personality which women found attractive, and interesting choice of songs and covers, Tom Jones did manage to continually hit the charts through the years.
In 1989, Tom Jones released the At The Moment album and played what was seen as a career-spanning set of songs at London’s Hammersmith Odeon. Thanks then to altostig who taped the FM broadcast (unfortunately the entire show was not broadcast - the missing Prince cover, Kiss, would have been a fine inclusion) and shared the tracks on the Dime site.

TJ is playing three shows in SW FL this week alone, and has sold or nearly sold them all out. I had the pleasure of seeing him with my fiance a couple of years ago; he still has a magnificent voice and paces the songs perfectly (who else could cover Hoobastank, Howlin Wolf, Eddie Floyd, Prince AND do his own hits in one show?) I realize he isn’t to everyone’s taste but Tom Jones has probably provided the most wide-ranging vision of American pop music since Elvis himself. He has earned his success and legend.

This recording is not from the “At this moment” tour. This is a year or two later and he was touring with a new album “Carrying A Torch”. Thanks a lot for uploading!
