Like 1975 was a good year for entertainment. Miss this type of innocent broadcasting...well innocent in that it was allowed and was such a different soulful highbrow approach
Hung out with Tom the year before at The DC Cellar Door. Wonderful guy. And you really felt like you were in on the ground floor of something artistically exciting
As a teen I'd bought tickets to see Mose play Boston at the Paul's Mall/Jazz Workshop duel nightclub complex on boylston street, unexpectedly saw T.W. opening, memorable night... Attended some other amazing sets by legendary acts at that venue, Mingus, Roland Kirk, Beefheart, Gato Barbieri, Stankey Clark (on upright), Ron Carter, etc...
Paul's Mall/Jazz Workshop. No place like it when I was a youngster. I could not believe I could see my heroes play for about $4.50. Sitting 5 feet away from Elvin Jones changed my life.
I played quite a few gigs with Mose during the 80s and "Parchman Farm" was the one tune we never played. People would request it, but he'd just tell them he doesn't play it anymore.
Unfortunate but appropriate that there's no audio on all of I Don't Worry About a Thing. Nothing was alright with this portion of the audio on this night in 1975!
Thanks so much for posting this. I've loved the Waits album this set is from since the late 80's but never saw a live performance from the era when it came out. This is great. And seeing Mose is a flashback to the early 90's when he did Sunday brunch sets at Fat Tuesday's in NYC for a while. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon that was.

@@kgscomedyproduction1747 Actually if you check out some of the very early interviews with Waits you find out Mose Allison was one of his early influences.
waits is by no means a slouch but mose allison footage by nature of it's rareness is what i needed to see here.
Me too he is rare to see in his younger days

Wow!
Went to both often. And the movie theatre 787
As a Berklee student it was must
What a fantastic double bill!
What would I give to have been here? Everything.
Uhhh, you were here.
@@finnibertlunchiken7792 i was there but i wasn't here watching on youtube. that would be sweet.
@@Screenwriting
Saw both the early and late shows when they both played Boston back then, $6 and a 2 drink minimum
Real attraction: Mose.
Obviously. Tom Waits was just the opener.
"everybody crying peace on earth, just as soon as we win this war." Never gets old, unfortunately.
Tom Waits would slay any modern rapper in a lyrical battle.
NO

Lyrically, he can walk circles around literally anybody. Educate yourself, dude.
@@YogsenForfoth No he can't, he is a literary munchkin. He impresses the ignorant and no one else.
apples and oranges, waits dont care bout that kinda snobbery
@@YogsenForfoth again, snobbery, apples and oranges, yadayada
What a treasure.
Vintage Tom Waits.
These are two of my all time favorites!!
Thanks for this video. I know it's PBS , but it's like you did your own
"Public Service" to all of us by putting this on your Channel. Thanks.
I guess I like Tom Waits? Mose Allison is was a national treasure, with his songs and musicians he employed.....hope TM watched.
Tom Waits IS Americana. The man is so uniquely ours. ❤️
Tom Waits is just so unique.
Wow !! What a great combination. Two of the best singers songwriters ever !!

The best lyricist I've ever heard...The Man paints pictures with his words. Exceptional... x
great
riveting
Came for Tom, stayed for Mose

Thanks for posting this!! This was my first exposure to Waits (and Mose Allison for that matter).
Two eye-watering moments. 1.when he hums at the end of "Semi Suite" 2. "Drunk On The Moon".
I saw Mose at Peanut's Pub in Memphis, TN. , maybe in 1973?
Tom.
instant sub
Does the audio cut out on the last song? It did for me. …Tom

Mose Allison at 37:25
Mose Knows.
An time capsule with contemporary advertisements. The sound drops out during the performance of the second act. Problem with tape recording?
Sound is out the last couple minutes??????????????
Who are the drummer and bass player.
Anyone know whose on drums and on bass?
