Tom Jones

Tomjones_ft2r1zke I bet you didn't know that Tom Jones does a great cover of Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life." Tonight Jones is appearing at the MGM Grand where he is far more likely to perform "What's New Pussycat?" I would love to go see Tom Jones, but the few times I've asked for review tickets, I've been turned down. Tom doesn't need a concert review; everyone already knows his songs and when to throw underwear. Unlike so many of his peers, he remains a major draw here and his stints in town almost always sell out. Maybe it is because he plays Las Vegas far less than people think. Jones only does a few stints at the MGM each year.

I've seen Tom in Vegas a couple times and while he always does a great show, the crowds are incredibly blase. No underwear was thrown at the last concert!

Best venue; the Fillmore in San Francisco where the crowd sings along with many of his hits and encourages him in doing new material. And rather than an 80 minute show you get 2plus hours!

OOOH, He can toss HIS undies at me!!
