I listened to Tom tell a funny joke.

Hello.
Could you please tell me if the pattern below is correct?

1. listen to + object + bare infinitive (indicating a whole action)
1) I listened to Tom tell a funny joke.

[GoesStation]

No. Tom was telling the joke.

I may be out on a limb here, but I honestly think that tell and telling work here, and to get the sense of completeness, I would use the bare infinitive.
