Show & Venue Reviews
Please share your Tom Jones shows with other fans. Setlist? Audience? Energy? What was it like being there? We’d love to hear from you.
And, while you’re telling us about the shows, please let us know what you think of the venues where Tom plays. Clubs, theaters, casinos — Tom Jones performs in all of them. Which venue do you think is the best? The worst?
So that other fans will know what’s in store when they buy their tickets, please tell us a little bit about the venues you know. If possible, try to use the format below so others can tell at a glance what you think. The best venue will merit ****. More than one review of a venue is welcome.
Irving Plaza, New York City
Friday, September 23rd, 2005- What
-
A hall where you stand unless you grab one of the few balcony seats. The trade-off in doing that
is that you are farther away from the stage than you might be if you stand. - Price
-
Around $70 a ticket; All tickets general admission
- Atmosphere
-
Like HOB and the Fillmore, Irving Plaza is short on amenities,
but long on excitement that, apparently, you either really like or really don’t. You’re crowded in
as close to your neighbor as possible, but that brings with it an immediacy. People sing, dance and
generally have a grand time. Do not go expecting food or easily accessible drinks.If you haven’t seen Tom in this kind of venue, and you can stand the standing, then go at the
earliest opportunity. - RATING
