He enjoyed two number 1 singles in the USA with “Hanky Panky” (1966) and “Crimson And Clover” (1969) with a number 1 single in UK with “Mony Mony” (1968).During the 80’s and 90’s Tommy’s songbook resulted in a number of major hits including back to back No 1’s in USA with Tiffany’s “I Think Were Alone Now” and Billy Idol’s “Mony Mony”.
The DVD element of this release was filmed in 2000 at The Bitter, End, Greenwich and is coupled with his 2006 album “Hold The Fire”. In 2006 Tommy James & The Shondells were inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Legends Hall of Fame.
Reviews
Here Mr. James and company obviously played out of pure passion and love...creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved...hopefully one day Tommy will be recognised as one of the greatest pop singer/songwriters of all time...because he truly is. babysue
Much of this album is of the easier going variety, but great songs are great songs and I have to say that this is a disc that not only do I enjoy, but one that my whole family from my daughters to my in-laws enjoy, showing that truly great song writing is timeless - a word that describes much of the songs and performances on this excellent live album.

The good people as Angel Air have released a string of interesting Tommy James re-issues during the past few months, but this infectious live set is far and away the most appealing offering that they've been involved with to date. Kevin Bryan (Hucknall Dispatch, Kidderminster Shuttle)
Threatening on paper to capture less of a career-defining moment and more like the sounds of barrels being scraped, it proves testimonial to a timeless tunesmith once Tommy James gets onstage...As rendered by the maturing man himself at NY's intimate Bitter End, the '60s pop standards and psychedelic cuts make the audience scream like schoolgirls despite the years, and make obvious what inspired so many later greats. vivelerock
