Fan Reviews From Vancouver Saturday Night; Hopefully, More To Come
Saturday, May 31st, 2008We’ve gotten two fan reviews from Vancouver so far (and it’s not even midnight here!). We’re looking for more and for the newspaper reviews. Here’s what we have so far:
From Sherry:
He was amazing. TJ dressed all in black with a red blazer. His voice was better than ever, didn’t miss a note. He’s still got the moves and the ladies were throwing their underpanties in droves.
He returned to do three more songs after singing for over 1 hour and the last three songs of the evening were fast paced rock and rolls songs. You would think he would be exhausted, his black shirt was soaking wet. During the song Sex Bomb, he lifted his shirt to reveal a six-pack, his body looked better than he has in years. He looks like he has been spending time in the gym.
The show was 1 1/2 hours of non-stop singing, some old, some new and some he hadn’t done in years. He sang songs from his TV show and his voice was stronger than ever.
Can’t wait until next time. His performance was Top of the Pops.
And a short one from “G Man,” with, hopefully, another after tomorrow’s show:
Saw him in Vancouver tonight… AMAZING. I’m seeing the show again tomorrow.. 3rd row… cannot wait for more TJ!
Thanks, guys! We love reading about the shows from a fan’s perspective.

Another excellent show tonight by Tom and his band! He wore the white blazer, which I think looks better then the red. His banter was in fairly large quantities, as were the undergarmet projectiles on the stage. One lady even took her bra off right in front of Tom… (EYES BULGE). Most of the stuff thrown wasn’t until SEXBOMB. During WHAT”S NEW PUSSYCAT a lady threw a small stuffed animal to Tom and he caught it, and sang to it for a couple verses. It was an excellent show, and great to see him even closer than last night…unfortunately my camera was confiscated bringing some tears and slight frustration momentarily (had to go buy a new poster after haha). I had taken 2 pictures (an excellent one of his chest during KISS) for my grandmother who loves Tom, and will never see him live, cos she lives in the middle of nowhere… anyway…. I returned the mangled poster to the security lady… who snickered haha. Anyway, besides my shennanigans, it was a great evening. The Audience finally woke up in the last half hour or so… (Victoria, Vancouver…. VERY conservative crowds… unfortunately.)
Man… does he ever lick his lips a lot?! anyone notice that?
I’m putting the new poster right beside Elvis in my bedroom! =)

I enjoyed the Vancouver show, until people started standing blocking the view of Tom Jones from people whom could not stand the disabled, and the older people to which there were a lot sitting around me, I am disabled not able to stand, so I could not enjoy the last part of the show, as I am sure many others could not. This place, The Center, is the right venue — for standing up in your seats. {eople should have been more considerate of people whom could not stand and paid to see Tom Jones. Forty-three years is a long time, I am truly a fan of this performer, and I was really disappointed that people spoiled it for me……

It’s difficult to not stand up when Tom is bringing the house down with some rockin’ tunes… I can’t just sit there, sorry.
