In addition to lots of Tom, the 77-minute DVD features performances from three shows and includes the Bee Gees, Mama Cass, Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66, Lynn Redgrave. John Denver. George Carlin and Tim Conway are also featured. Tom sings (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay, All Right Now, What’s New Pussycat? and other tunes.
To sweeten the pot and encourage orders through TJI.com, the good people at TimeLife are giving away eight CDs of music that influenced Tom Jones. If you order by April 30 you will be entered to win one of these: Jerry Lee Lewis: The Original Greatest Hits, AM Gold 1967 (three copies), AM Gold 1965, Living the Blues, Classic Love Songs of the 60s: Sealed with a Kiss or Elvis: Songs from the Movies (3-CD set).
So you can preview the DVD, we’ll be posting short clips from the product for the next three days. Today, we have Tom singing What’s New Pussycat and Dock of the Bay. It’s vintage Tom and it’s terrific.

Just purchased the latest DVD to add to my collection. Glad to hear TJI gets a samll commission. Your site is fabulous! Do you know if there are any DVDs of Tom’s MGM shows or other concerts? I was at three of his shows last week and would love to be able to add one of these DVDs. I do have Tom with John Farnham, the Ponty Pridd birthday concert and the Cardiff concert, but nothing from his shows in the U.S. Just checking. Thanks.

Is it possible to buy the Ponty Pridd birthday concert from someone or somwhere? Does anybody know?

Henning: The concert in Ponty Park was recorded for TV and, occasionally, a copy turns up on eBay. More recently, the same happened with his concert in Chile. There is no new concert footage out. It’d be nice if they would do a new DVD but it’s doubtful they’d do it in the USA. Maybe, when he plays in the UK later this year (as he’s said he’ll do in the fall) they’ll do one then. For now, the best suggestion is to just watch eBay.

Ooops…I forgot about this one with Tom Jones singing Dock on the Bay and What’s New Pussycat. Again, would you, Ms. Ellen, please be able to repost these clippings onto the TJ Video Library so I will be able to see the entire videos and not just hear them. Unfortunatly, my computer’s performance is no helping the matter at all. I need to update my QuickTime. Thank you.
