Live: Tom Jones
Verdict: ****
LG Arena, Birmingham
At 69, Tom may not be able to gyrate too frantically now, but he certainly knows how to make the most of his moves.
Kicking off with new song Sugar Daddy, a self-mocking romp written for him by U2, the merest booty wiggle results in near panic from the knicker-waving arena, while a quick flash of his tanned hairy abdomen generates startled screams even Robbie Williams can only dream of.
Dressed tastefully in black and fronting a 10-piece band, Jones The Voice belts his way through five decades of hits. A stripped down version of The Green Green Grass Of Home takes Tom back to the working men's clubs of his youth, while a pumping Sex Bomb is as popular as any of his old classics.
It's a volcanic performance from the lothario who, having finally ditched the hair dye, still looks as good as he sounds.
