Oh WOW! Thanks a lot for that! I adooooore this song! I had never seen it live so this is a big treat! It’s my all time favourite album that one! What better place to see this than the HOB, I wonder if they’ll be playing it.

We are going to New Orleans for the Monday night show. Can’t wait to see him there. The only thing I am not sure of is the tickets are all standing room only.

Tom never misses a beat and still sounds as clear as a bell.

While we don’t wish to appear obsessive and/or compulsive, we cannot help but point out that in the recording Tom sings the lyric, “…the usual crowd was there.” That’s the way an American would sing this American song. In this video, performing live in the UK, he sings it like a true Brit: “…the usual crows were there.” Odd — but very human.

Sir Tom’s version of this classic is a master class in how to deliver a song: it’s just sensational.
