But, the recent show had some new tunes.</p> <p>My husband was getting worried about the lack of undies being thrown. He said he was about to "throw his up there!" LOL! That would have been a hoot. But, once Tom sang <em>Leave Your Hat On</em> a couple were tossed.</p> <p>I only wish I could get some of the songs Tom sung in downloads for my iPod. <em>Git Me Some</em> would be a first pick. LOVED IT! Hopefully it will be out SOON!</p> <p>Thanks for the GREAT time and I look forward to seeing him again!</p> My husband and I saw Tom September 24th at the MGM. It was our second time.

My husband was getting worried about the lack of undies being thrown. He said he was about to “throw his up there!” LOL! That would have been a hoot. But, once Tom sang Leave Your Hat On a couple were tossed.

I only wish I could get some of the songs Tom sung in downloads for my iPod. Git Me Some would be a first pick. LOVED IT! Hopefully it will be out SOON!

Thanks for the GREAT time and I look forward to seeing him again!

That is an AWESOME review of that amazing night! Thanks! I was blown away and couldn't put it into words. Now I can just forward your review as I am still speechless days later :). All I have been able to come out with is, "He said something a little dirty about his right ear which excited me, I screamed a lot, and he STILL gets better EVERY time....voice, energy AND looks!" Tom's powerful voice blows me away each time and I swear he sounds even BETTER each time if that is possible. I won't even start talking about his looks as that could become unpostable (is that even a word?? My IQ drops a bit when I start thinking about Tom! LOL!!!) The only thing that bummed me out was that he didn't do <em>The Reason</em> or <em>Stoned in Love.</em> I never got to experience either of these two live, just on YouTube. I was dying just watching YouTube and couldn't imagine the live experience. I can understand that he needs to take care of that amazing voice....I'd rather keep seeing him than hear a song that would turn him hoarse. I just wish I was able to experience it at least once. I was unable to see Tom for a year and a half due to finances and health reasons. The finances and health still aren't good, but Tom is my medicine so I finally justified using the plastic :). </p> <em>—Jennifer from Oregon</em> Wow!

Recently I was lucky enough to hear Mr.Jones sing it live. It is not exactly the same as the recorded version we all know and love.

Thank you Tom Jones for sharing your beautiful voice and singing this lovely ballad. I love to hear it and many times, I have to admit, I have been guilty of driving under the influence of Tom.

To me, it just didn't have the same meaning or feeling. I prefer the original version. Do you think he took out <em>The Reason</em> because of the possible strain on his voice at the end?</p> Ladies, what was your impression of the updated version of With These Hands?
