Title: Showing my age
Post by: Nancy5 on May 02, 2018, 11:52:01 am
I know I’m showing my age, and all you young people will say who??  Tonight I have tickets (front row) to see Tom Jones!  He has always been a favorite.  I got these as a Christmas present, he’s appearing at the Sands Casino in Bethlehem PA.  I can’t wait until 7 pm.

How exciting!  I've always liked Tom Jones and my mother was crazy about him!!  One regret I have is that I didn't go home when she asked me to, to take her to his concert when he was in Cherokee, NC a few years before she passed away.  I tried to get some of my siblings that still lived close to her and dad to take them but they wouldn't.  Would have been a 13 hour drive for me to get to them to take them and I had just been there for 2 weeks shortly before.   I know he'll put on a great show, as always.  I've watched him some on YouTube since he's aged and he still looks good lol!!

People of all ages like different types of music.  I saw some young people on tv singing some of the legends songs.

Very cool. I like Tom Jones. Glad he's still kickin'.

The only famous people whose concerts I've ever seen were Vicki Carr, Eric Clapton and Paul Revere and the Raiders. It's amazing to see anyone in concert.

Have fun and report back to us.

I understand that he puts on a really good show, so I know you will enjoy it.  How fun for you!  I love going to the "oldies concerts", but some of those guys are older than I remember.  Still a lot of fun.

Just came back the from show.  He was on a little over 1 hour 45 minutes.  He honestly put on a fabulous show.  He had everyone up and claping for most of the show.  And honestly he has not lost any of his voice, he sounds just as good as he did in the 70’s.

Hope you enjoy seeing him. Have to give Tom Jones credit for still doing it after all these years. I think the music helps keep performers young in a way.

Nothing wrong with going to see someone who has been in the entertainment field for years.

Hey, I would like to listen to some of his old songs and see how he seems to have weathered aging.  I don't blame you for being a bit excited.  I would like to see some oldies in concert myself, although there are some newer artists I would like to see also.  The problem is with many of the newer artists that their concert tickets often cost "an arm and a leg." Too pricey for my pocketbook.  I might make an exception if Christina Aguilera happens to come to a venue near enough!

Sounds like a great show! We went to see BJ Thomas a few years ago. He was really good, and so funny!

I hope you have a great time at the concert.

That's awesome!  Thanks for your update after the show.  I love that these oldsters can keep entertaining and doing what they love to do.  I had the opportunity of seeing Andy Williams' show right before he died, and his voice sounded the same, also. He was amazing.  I've thought that about Tony Bennett, too.

I have always like  Tom Jones and all of the others in his age  group, boy  it does tell us our age, I got to meet him one year along with Tenn.  Ford, Roger Miller, Perry Como, the Fireballs and  a lot more other country singers. I was lucky enough to be living in a couple of big cities where there was concerts and rodeos going on and  working for  one of the major Hotels  where they stayed.
