Scoop in Torrington CT/Saturday February 11 2006
Sunday, February 12th, 2006The joint was sold out.
The fans were very excited. Tom received several standing ovations during the course of the show (especially after What Am I Living For and I’ll Never Fall In Love Again).
Perhaps a record number of panties were “delivered” to the stage. By show’s end there were an estimated 60 pair littering the stage, along with several rose bouquets, assorted hotel room keys, and a book, which came flying onto the stage and slid into Tom’s foot getting his attention.
The book stayed on the floor until the encore. Tom picked it up, signed it and, remarkably, returned it to the fan who had thrown it a half-dozen songs earlier.
By the end of the show the ladies were flooding the aisles on both sides of the stage. It was almost too much for security to handle. Mr. Jones was indeed in his element.
All three shows in the northeast have been enthusiastic successes. When Tom gets away from Vegas, it’s a whole new and exciting ball game. The weather is affecting the east coast in a big way. The tour is in Wilkes-Barre PA tonight and headed into NYC tomorrow. Not sure what to expect. We’ll see what develops.
Scoop… out!

I got goose bumps reading this review! Made me wish I could hope on a plane and head to the snow-covered northeast because I’m sure that while it’s cold outside, inside with Sir Tom is toasty and warm!!! I can’t wait to read more from Scoop! Thanks for doing this for all of us…just keep ‘em coming!

IS there any way to get a song list posted when a review is done on the Scoop?

Vince, Scoop said we should be getting a setlist soon.
