I found this rare performance of I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You from a radio interview with KPFK folk scene. Pretty sure it isn't on UA-cam so I figured I'd share it with the world. It's an extract from one of Tom's first interviews ever. If anyone wants I'll upload the rest. Enjoy!
Many packs of cigarettes ago!! I've been a Tom Waits fan since first hearing Closing Time. His songs just keep getting better.
This was the first Tom Waits song I heard. It's been almost 20 years and I'm still hooked.
Listening to this makes me slowly fall in love with my man.. Not officially dating yet but he introduced me to Tom Waits.. He is also named Tom :)
You still together???
And he waits
I can hear Bob Dylan's influence here. I LOVE this love song- everything Tom has done- a truly unique artist...Namaste
Yes, indeed, very much Dylanesque, here. Amazing.
Tom is probably come to be my #1 musical inspiration.
So wonderful to hear vintage TW. I got my first exposure when Small Change came out in '76. Didn't connect with Closing Time until then. He embodies the 'Three chords and the truth' songwriting ethos. Closing Time, Martha, Hold On (Mule Variations), Rosie..... so much soul.
Lifes blessings are great whisky, great wine, great tea, great coffee, great cheese, great mushrooms, great sex and great Tom Waits songs .......... this is GREAT !
Fantastic live performance! One of the many memorable songs from the "Closing Time" album. His voice in those days had a velvety resonance rather than a gruff gravely quality of today. Such a rare pleasure to listen to him sing this live ... even with the last 3 1/2 half words missing. We all know what they are anyway.
Ol’ 55 is a vivid, beautiful song. Closing Time is an incredible album
Totally agree. ❤
.....i think i just fell in love with you
this is awesome, I almost didn't think it was Tom at first!!!
actually he was 24, almost 25 years old on this performance...but you definitly right it's still good to hear
Listening to this in 2019... Man, time and cigarettes have really made his voice evolve.
His voice hasn't changed. At this point he hadn't adopted the dog growling hobo character. He was still a legit artist, not a performer.
His voice became an intentional exaggeration, not the nature result of his lifestyle. He spent a lot of time and effort working on a type of voice that would allow him to create characters that seemed authentic and original. I love his early stuff, but he knew that there was not enough to distinguish him from his peers that would give him a lasting career with the satisfaction of continued artistic exploration he desired. He set out to do things his own way and to make the kind of art he wanted to make, and it just happened to be successful. I don't think he could have envisioned it being as well-received as it has been, but honesty is impossible to disguise.
@@-Ricky_Spanish- thank you, I didn’t know this!
you forgot to add liquor
@@nickdean9683 he was a legit artist since he started in around 1969 until the present.
Incredible recording of this Waits masterpiece. Thanks a million!
He used to sleep in front of our house in his car when I was a tiny kid. If I only knew ❤️
You serious?
You mean it? He's gorgeous. But so is his wife ;)
His voice is so high in this one
It is Tom. I have this on vinyl. Beautiful!
I love this. Thank you for sharing, Peter.
Awesome
Beautiful performance, Thanx 4posting!
Such a beautiful performance
I hope you are well my darling friend and in good spirits. I love this radio broadcast. I have the entire thing and it’s been a favorite. I have discovered that at night the wait is awful. The seconds take forever, because I wish you were closer...unfortunately this version cuts off. I could upload mine I guess.
Please be so kind as to do so.

Thank you

Story of my life
Happy to be number 420 liked....
TOM SEI IL MIO PREFERITO!!!
It's always bothered me that the song gets cut off at the end before finishing...so I went out of my way and found the full version.
It's currently on my channel for those interested
Thank you xx
thanks!!!
all the credits to WAITS
Wow, that is definitely long time ago, he must have been about 25 - 27, but that "old" >y'no< told me, it's him...
...thanks for this upload, even though it's not finished at the end... still good to hear! :)
Magic
The end was not cut off for anyone else? No one thought Tom was doing a bad trailing aka Dillon?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I want to hear recording from folk radios of 60s 70s. Is it possible? I really like folk and i want to hear old recordings
Ok 👌 thank you.Rare stuff indeed What year is this?
The best line in the song is cut off.
you are right...the most important part..hehe
meine liebe
@Filoudelou definately tom waits, just really early tom waits, probably from '73 or '74
Seriously, the tune is cut short? You gotta be joking.
Thanks for wasting my time.
Poughquag Pops Thanks for wasting no ones time
why Tom waits didnt performance on live?
👌🌹✨💫
this is a tom waits song. but i believe this is john prine doing the song. love both artists and both versions tho 😊
His speaking voice sounds exactly like Dylan (when introducing it). Is he mimicking him, because I never heard him speak like that
ell in love with you.......
Is it really Tom Waits ? I'm not so sure. It sounds like him in his early years but I have some doubt about it. Can somebody confirm ?
I hear some Dylan in his voice
Done
a bit of a dylan in the phrasing...anyway très beautiful
who the hell uploaded this halfarsed?
0:38 sec. Now again full. Or not. Or.
Pardon me. So .. this is bar song. .. oh m Godesses. I had no clues 🎉
fade out
Not Tom...
you have got to be kidding me. the video ends with several seconds left in the song. it just cuts off halfway. this is such a beautiful song, but i am giving it a thumbs down because of this.
I’ll never quite understand what happened to his voice. I find his gravly persona almost unlistenable.
