I just finished watching "This is Tom Jones Christmas" and it took me back to my youth! What fun. I like it that has two complete Christmas shows; one from 1969 and one from 1970. It's a great historical snapshot of 1969 and 1970's fashions and attitudes. But, above all of that, it showcases Tom Jones and his awsome talent. The man can sing! I especially loved his reading of "A Child's Christmas in Wales" and listening to the angelic voices of the Welsh Choir. The video quality is good with only a couple of ragged patches. I give it a whole-hearted five stars and will be purchasing this DVD as gifts for Christmas!

I have waited more than 35 years for this! I could never forget Tom's breathtaking rendition of Scarlet Ribbons and his marvelous reading of A Child's Christmas in Wales (Richard Burton could not have done it better!)! It is a tremendous thrill to finally have it! There's never been a voice that touches his or that moves me so deeply. Check out the stunning version of Brother Can you spare a dime! and enjoy this Christmas treat! My only complaint is that there is not enough of Tom-how could there ever be?- and I could sure do without the Ace Trucking Company! I wish ALL Through the Night was on there with Tom singing, because I remember him doing that one with that great choir.BUt I am very happy! VERY!

My wife has been a fan of Tom Jones since she was 15 years old. While I don't consider myself a "true fan" of Tom Jones, there is not a song I've heard done by him that I didn't like. Both me and my wife watched these shows when they aired on TV and enjoyed them thoroughly. Now we have the EXTREME pleasure of watching them again and my wife's comment is "No real Tom Jones Fan will be disappointed in this DVD." I have to admit, I agree with her. One review I read when I was originally buying it said something to the effect "Don't waste your money by buying this DVD" - Well, I bought it for my wife, and I definitely did not waste my money! She wants MORE - MORE - MORE!

To me so rare these DVDs on Tom Jones just love them great quality thank you I love my Music WOW !!!

On the plus side there is some very good music, both pop and seasonal. And it is fun to see some of the outfits which passed for fashion back then. On the other hand, there are some incredibly unfunny comedians featured on these two programs. If you're willing to take it with a grain of salt it is an groovy way to spend Christmas, I suppose.

This DVD set is fantastic! If you are a Tom Jones fan you will love his show. I highly recommend this product.

How can you go wrong with the winning combination of Tom Jones's vocals covering your favorite Christmas songs? Not to mention getting to see him doing it live on his very own television show with some popular vocalists of that time period. Wonderful gift for the Tom Jones fan any day of the year, but especially nice to find underneath your Christmas tree. It will certainly put you into the spirit of the season!

This is an excellent DVD and one I highly recommend. It's a great mix of holiday songs and feelings along with some excellent period (1969 and 1970) songs and atmosphere. I love Tom's singing on I'm Not Responsible (one of my favorite Tom Jones songs). But more importantly I love his singing on Good King Winceslas, I'll be Home for Christmas, and Mary's Boy Child.

This is a DVD you won't regret purchasing. I'm glad I stumbled onto it on Youtube and then came to Amazon and bought it.

Tom does his best, as always, with some lovely Christmas songs. His voice is truly amazing and so heartfelt. A lovely treat for us all!!

Looked forward to getting this DVD,lol I paid more than its current listed price and I just got it from AMAZON yesterday,The transfer is good, but there is not enough TOM! He is so talented and so great to watch! A must for any fan!
