After two introductory duets, each singer performed a few solos from their respective catalogues, before combining once again to put their takes on a series of original and cover songs.
A DVD and CD, entitled 'Together In Concert - John Farnham & Tom Jones' was released soon afterwards, capturing events of the tour.
Hold On I'm Coming
John Farnham & Tom Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till the one that I was
True way and broke apart
I want you I need you
A chance is on I'm asking now
I must get back to you so now
So I am coming home to you
May be you found somebody new
'Cause I'm still coming home to you
Please let me stay and forget your pride
Now my world is falling round
I got know when behind
I want you I need you
I know with true I made you cry
Then like a fool I say goodbye
Now I am coming home to you
Yes I am nothing without you
May be you found somebody new
But I'm still coming home to you
The lyrics of John Farnham and Tom Jones's song "Hold On I'm Coming" depict a man who has made mistakes in his relationship and is now trying to reconcile with his lover. He expresses his desire to come back home to his lover's loving heart and his acknowledgment that he was the one who went astray and broke their relationship. He pleads with his lover to give him a chance to make things right, acknowledging that he needs and wants her in his life.
Throughout the song, the man shows remorse for his actions and tries to persuade his lover to forget about her pride and accept him back. He admits that his world is falling around him, and he has come to the realization that he needs her in his life. The man acknowledges that he made her cry and, like a foolish man, said goodbye. Still, he's still coming home because, without her, he is nothing.
The song "Hold On I'm Coming" was originally recorded by the R&B duo Sam & Dave in 1966, and it became a massive hit on both the soul and pop charts. John Farnham and Tom Jones recorded the song in 1988 for their album together, "Together in Concert." It's a soulful rendition of the original song, with Farnham's powerful vocals perfectly matched with Jones's rugged and soulful voice.

None is better.
@Lemmax-X-exdom
The best version!
TOM JONES: THE VOICE.
@2011littlejohn1
This is a great version but it's not better or worse than Wilson Pickett who was the innovative one along with Stax records who let it all hang out whilst Motown deliberately smoothed out the rough edges. It's also an indication of how the music which the British played had progressed and by then sounded authentic.
@chrisgriffiths8454
Absolutely
@erikakeese5692
