Synopsis

Welshman Tom Jones enjoys a spectacular homecoming in this enjoyable, family-friendly concert set on Cardiff Castle's fantastic grounds. A massive crowd sings and sways along with the pop bluesman as he warms up with assorted covers ("Hard to Handle," "Never Tear Us Apart"), tinkers with classics (a big, E Street Band-like arrangement on Elvis's "You're Right, I'm Left, She's Gone"), and attempts--ill-advisedly--a down-and-dirty version of Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House." Much better is the country effort "Without Love" and a soaring, powerful "A Boy from Nowhere." Jones' solo version of Van Morrison's "Sometimes We Cry" (Jones and Morrison recorded it together) is a lovely piece of gospel testimony, while his country blues take on Keb' Mo's "Am I Wrong" proves interesting, if a little forced. The classics work best: "Never Fall In Love Again," "Green, Green Grass," and "It's Not Unusual" still have the old pop conviction.
