It's Not Unusual For Tom Jones To Croon At Turning Stone |
|---|
 5/26/2023 - Verona, New York - I literally just returned from London in time, to come home and see one of my favorite old school artists perform, Sir Tom Jones. I picked up a ticket a couple hours before the start of the show on Ticketmaster for the show at the Turning Stone Event Center in Verona, New York. I hopped in the car and headed East down the NYS Thruway stopping at Exit 33. The show was close to a sellout and my ticket was okay upper left stage, the venue seems to have decent views from all angles. Tom came out promptly around 8 PM and played a fantastic set. Some classics and some great covers. He opened with I'm Growing Old and then the Dylan song Not Dark Yet. Tom's Surrounded By Time theme of the show seemed a little dark as the 82 year old soon to be 83 belted out tune after tune ! He sang some of his hits like It's Not Unusual, Green Green Grass Of Home, and What's New Pussycat? He did a nice version of the Ry Cooder song Across The Borderline which he recently performed at Willie Nelson's 90th Birthday Party. He talked of Willie still touring at 90 and he at 82 has something to look foward too. He also did an excellent version of his classic Delilah. His voice was strong as ever and he sounded excellent still at 82. I am pretty sure I saw at least one pair of panties tossed on the stage. Most of the fans around me were disappointed he didn't play more of his hits but they all appeared to leave satisfied with his show. He finished the show with Johnny B. Goode. I am glad to have had the opportunity to see Sir Tom one more time, great show... Slideshow | |
