At least not on my copy, so I assume it was not added.</p> No, Robbie, Treat Her Right was on the Johnny Cash episode. At least not on my copy, so I assume it was not added.

When I receive my original order from TimeLife, I will unfortunately have to send it back. I liked the second set, but I wish that the concert spots were left in their entirety. They were always the best part of the show. I'm sure there are reasons for choosing certain material that we don't understand, but it seems the DVD's would best showcase the talents of Tom and his guests, if they released DVD's in their entirety instead of seemingly getting bits and pieces of certain episodes. I still love them though!</p> Well,got tired of waiting,I ordered two months ago, so I ordered from Amazon, received them within three days.

Federal regulations prohibit them from holding this order any longer - therefore I have to contact them within 14 days or they have to cancel my order and issue a refund. I don't want a refund - I want my DVD set, hahaha - well I guess I stick to my order but next time definitely AMAZON.com again - only good experiences - SORRY TIMELIFE :(</p> Hey Pam – YES I have the same problem with TIMELIFE – I received a letter yesterday that they are still out of stock and they expect to ship within 30 days.

But what is there is great to watch. Never saw the Tony Bennett episode and was surprised to hear him sing <em>If I Ruled The World</em> with such a powerful voice at the end of this beautiful song. Highlights for me are the Tom and Jerry duet and Tom's version of <em>Without Love.</em> Some minor points: picture and sound are OK, but not remastered. The footage could be on two discs. No extras. Overall a great set to complete your collection, but not interesting enough for the die-hard Jones fans.</p> I received this second set yesterday and was a bit disappointed about the fact that a lot has been left out.

Had nothing but problems and still do not have my DVD's. I got a letter on 2/11 saying it was out of stock for another 30 days, then I got an email today, 2/20 saying it had shipped, only they shipped Rock n'Roll Legends,the first set. I gave up and ordered from Amazon yesterday, 2/19 and its already shipped. Hopefully will get it in a few days. Anybody else had this experience with TimeLife? I'll keep ordering from Amazon, never have a problem.</p> I ordered my DVD’s on 1/20 from TimeLife with the link through this site. Had nothing but problems and still do not have my DVD’s.

Oh my gosh, I lived through and survived the era of plastic, polyester and spandex. But, most importantly, I lived when there was a show called "This is Tom Jones" and it was brilliant. I for one thought that these shows would never be released again for one reason or another so I am just so thrilled to have them, as incomplete as they well may be. I just sat there watching history unfold before me....we are so fortunate that these images still exist. I have no complaints - just lots of warm and fuzzy feelings and can't wait to share a bit of my childhood memories with my teenage daughter. She only knows Tony Bennett from his recent appearances on tv as an 80-year-old, but a still swinging 80-year-old. She's heard of Liza and Sammy Davis Jr., but has not seen them perform in their prime! She will now. Just enjoy these DVD's and hope there will be many more to come! :)</p> My childhood came flooding back to me today as I watched the new DVD set.

But like everyone else said, a lot was left out. Many songs I think are repetitious. What about songs like <em>Delilah, Daughter of Darkness, Ebb Tide</em> (he did this beautifully)? I hope other sets to come add many other different songs Tom made popular.</p> I love the DVD! But like everyone else said, a lot was left out. Many songs I think are repetitious.
