I love Tom Waits. My favorite song of his is 'God's Away on Business' He's the greatest songwriter an a musical genius!72 years old...Long live Tom Waits.👏❤
Awesome song!!!! My personal favorite is Heartattack and Vine. There are so many good ones though. 16 Shells From a 30-6 is another one which I first heard Bob Segers cover when I was a kid before I even learned about Tom Waits. Bobs version was great but Tom Waits is just a legend.
Agreed, my favorite is hold on, time, blind love, house where nobody lives, Virginia Ave, Tom traubert's blues, and the famous ones, Jersey girl, ol' 55, downtown train.
Mr. Waits, if you read these things, it would be an awesome laugh if you dropped a couple fun homemade tracks under the cover of a look alike Only Fans bot hyperlink in reply to a comment. If you have a fond stage name from your burlesque days, i think the fans who stumble across this would get a smile out of the easter egg. A cover of ascertain Rick Astley song would be epic. Thank you also for looking out for a bunch of Johns getting rolled by the po po.
I recorded a later broadcast of that concert which has following spoken introduction: "The concert on April 26, 1977 in the Bremen Post-Aula began with a wait of more than an hour for the audience. Tom Waits and his trio were unable to land in Bremen by plane as planned, but had to go to Hanover and drive the rest of the way (***about 140 Km/87 Miles***) - they were also given the wrong address. Finally arrived, someone offered him a bottle of Korn (***a white spirit similar to vodka usually made from wheat or rye***) with the announcement that it was something like German whiskey. After Tom Waits had tested it extensively, he entered the stage in a black trench coat and played a set of around 25 minutes without any explanation. The audience, which was already annoyed by the wait and couldn't do much with the exotic black bird, as a Bremen journalist called it at the time, wasn't particularly enthusiastic. However, anyone who understood his announcement that there would only be a short cigarette break and had the patience to wait then experienced the almost hour-long second set where Tom Waits had overcome the consequences of the Korn and for moments also brought out his entertainer qualities, for example when he demonstrated the sound of American road cruisers to the astonished Bremen audience in the song “Diamonds on my Windshield”. In the first set, however, Tom Waits sounds a little as if his tongue and teeth were getting in the way when he was singing, and towards the end of the song “The Piano Has Been Drinking” it takes him a long time for the addition of "Not Me". And the way he drags out "the piano is drunk" makes it clear that he had some difficulty believing himself…"
This album was my Introduction to Tom. I wasn't sure what I was in for because everything was in German on the case, but I think he would approve of the circumstance that gained a fan.
My biggest musical regret in this life is failing to see Tom performing in his prime (or ever). I'm 67, Tom is 72, I certainly could have found a way. As I understand it now, Tom has said he will never tour again. Say it ain't so Tom! (But I'm sure you have your reasons, gotta respect them)
Amazing!! So good. It’s like a blending of Nighthawks at the Diner and Small Change 🥃The Piano Has Been Drinking. The commentary about the rough trip is so great 😂
I love this period of Waits. I think Frank Vicari, may he rest in peace and music, was the best sax man--and most sympathetic to Tom's rhythms--he ever played with.
The opening low tempo version of Step Right Up is a revelation! Sounds great on my phone, but I'd love to see legit physical releases of this and any other 'official' bootlegs.
It's been a rough couple days and this is just what I needed - seems like a setlist based off most of my favorite tunes from his first few albums (not a bad one in this bunch!)
Tom! Love the atmosphere created by your sound... man! Could be break in OJ case about accomplice to clear up questions about a River Running under Viper Room above Laurel Canyon between Beverly Hills and Hollywood as it is less than 20 miles from Griffith Observatory to Santa Monica Pier. ❤
A jail cell 16th note groove on a toilet aluminum sink combo with a kick bass drum repeating riff on the center of the bunk sheet metal where ya can get some wobble when pressed hard and released, just enough nuance to track in, ghost lay, a kind dub step sub bass frequency refrain an algorythym for modulation but within a repeating refrain at wakeful heart rate comfort. Layer lyrics in on; or contrasting the beats age. Start with field work call and response folk song that subtly turns to escape/ rail & hobo directions into phillip k dick style awareness of escape from automated guards and into panicked jazz improv meandering mutiny/ revolt. (The Swans, Tool, SOAD, BLR, Peter Gabriel, Faith No More, Elvis Costello, Circle Jerks, Nomeansno, ideal point of collaboration on ) Defiant Ones and Cool Hand Luke tumbling head long into Old Man hammer scene outside into escape from Shawshank Redemption then Blade Runner and then a cover of Edelweiss for a hollywood ending. Except a couple hidden tracks. Waits & Gary Neuman doing a duet of juxtpositional schizim state of oppositional critical thinking in American zeitgeist. Last track is instrumental with Noam Chomsky explaining a reliably factual method of meme informative discourse that was just given example of in previous track. Final hidden track is "Alexa" like bot reading The International Human Rights declaration, voice intermittently softens and powers out as random generated choice of live phone recordings of collaborative artists reading the interrupted declaration lines or just stanza from their favorite poems, cadence adjusted to beat, in best ASMR/ Bedtime story voice, words children grow in a sunlit window on, til the automated voice breaks back in reading Declaration. Each collaborator mirrors this song on their own website as a open ended Machine learning project. No one owns it. Medicinal and vaccine therapy chemical compositions read into this by the scientists who discovered them. The infinite length is impossible to legally dispute or copyright. Free to people with chemistry skills to produce. Chocolate Jesus. Through interprative collaboration of human and automated zeitgeist. Humans learning through call & response and lyrics. gist is So fucking catchy everyone playing it learns the heartbeat of human construct and live [Now] thought in moment. Machines learn to fill in cracks in Societal Machine with our most aspirings human ideas and poems.
I love Tom Waits. My favorite song of his is 'God's Away on Business' He's the greatest songwriter an a musical genius!72 years old...Long live Tom Waits.👏❤
I agree 100%

Brilliant song. One of the best. It's 🎶"Come on up to the house" for me.
Agreed, my favorite is hold on, time, blind love, house where nobody lives, Virginia Ave, Tom traubert's blues, and the famous ones, Jersey girl, ol' 55, downtown train.
My other favorite, 'hang down your head'.
My late wife Barbara and I saw Tom Waits in Edinburgh 2008, best show we ever , and we had seen a few .
Cheers Tom 😊😊😊
Love you Tom
Tom Waits is my hero and has been for almost 15 years...I just wanted to write that...the man needs to do a show

Maybe Tom made reference to this in the song "Get behind the mule"

Sounds like something a waits fan would say,interesting and cryptic xxx
音質も素晴らしい！
