Good Quality TJ Video Clip (That’s Way Too Short) Of A Song You Don’t Often See On Video
Thursday, September 17th, 2009
The next two days are very busy ones for me with several events (including one interview that’s a dream come true for me) and meetings. Thus, I must apologize in advance for not having enough time for a longer post.
At any rate, this way-too-brief (26 seconds) video from Artisan News is, once again, from the Outside Lands Festival. I was thrilled to find it because I believe it’s an almost-perfect Tom Jones song and it has rarely been recorded on video.
If you’ll recall, last October this song gained special significance for Tom when a rumor that he had died surfaced and moved quickly between LA, London and Las Vegas. Of course, all was well, but it gave this song a very special resonance. I’ve always liked seeing him perform it because it portrays a powerful man doing what he loves and doing it very well.
So, here’s a short clip* of Tom Jones singing I’m Alive.
As usual, if you cannot view it, please drop me note using the “Contact TJI” link at right and I’ll send it to you.
*And, yes, my friend in Coram, it’s large-format.
