Never drive a car when you're dead.
Sound advice.😊
Tom’s Mom probably: “Thomas Alan Waits! What did I tell you about eating barbed wire!!!”
"If they didn't want it eaten, they wouldn't make it taste so good"
You can hate his voice or not care for the style of music, but only a philistine can't see the sheer genius of a Tom Waits song, performance...everything.
i would see him more of a thrash metal kind of performer.
If you hate his voice, you are the problem. His early clear vocals just sound weird.
tom doesn't need lyrics to any song, he can just keep growling around, suits me...
The day when cabaret theatrical performance, delta blues and black metal vocals met.
Well put! 🙌
I'd say Tom's singing here is probably too bouncy and expressive to be exactly like black metal vocals. To be clear, I mean that as a compliment.
Three words: screamin jay Hawkins
@@Smudge4199 I was lucky enough to see Screaming Jay Hawkins @ MSG when he was an opening act for the Stones(1982?)
@@a.t.3192I woulda just gone with "death metal vocals". Theres more variance there
Number One on my bucket list to see this man live.
You better hurry
@dierotezarah8475
He's old now.
Yes, many years ago I saw him two times live in the Netherlands. It really was an incredible experience...
Too late

Nice:)
Hearing his album Franks Wild Years on a cassette tape when I worked as a dishwasher in a small art deco diner as a teen in the late 90s made me appreciate music that had a different sound than everything that sounded the same that was on the radio at the time and helped give me the strange taste in music that I have now.
Nice story!
I've seen many really good concerts, some great ones, but Tom's show in DC on this tour back in '88 stands alone for its sheer genius and theatre art. Waits is simply a totally unique experience. Once you enter his world, you're hooked.
"Once you enter his world, you're hooked." A very good way to put it!
saw him toronto then as well; late 80s monster.
That's awesome man. Your so lucky. I missed him on that 88 tour cause I just joined the Navy. My buddy got us tickets for The beacon theater show in NYC but I got called up to go to bootcamp earlier than I expected.
unexpectedly got sucked into the sublime Waits musical vacuum in 1981 after ‘borrowing’ a copy of SFTrombones from my high school library. Damn, I’ve been a disciple ever since. Sadly, I went to the Beacon box office when tix went on sale but passed on tix😡as they were too expensive for me & I have never gotten another opportunity to see him again😢. I did however get to meet him & shake his hand at a Springsteen concert in NJ(1985?). Great memory but I would trade that moment for a chance to see him perform which I fear I will never get😌
Я люблю Тома Уэйтса !
Big Time is one of the best live albums ever released...
I was a teenager hitchhiking in Riverside California. I got picked up by Tom waits and Ricky Lee Jones... they were in a red Cadillac convertible.
And how ass t ride?:( what did u talk about with them?
Nor Fear Nor Loathing
Big Time. One of the best albums/videos ever made.
You can be the coolest dude on earth and you'll still never be near as cool a cat as Tom Waits 💡
correction: you can be the coolest dude on earth, but then you'd be Tom Waits.
Tom is such a brilliant performer. Completely one of a kind.
my all time favorite. Greetings from Istanbul
Impeccably Insane performance by everybody on stage. THATS ENTERTAINMENT!!!!!
The legs and feet...this dude was into it. Not too many like this guy.
Never seen a basement light been played better
Oh my god.. This is much precious than silver and gold!! 😭
Is Marc Ribot on this version?!?
A random YT feed. Fourth year university...brought me to tears.
One of my fave guitar solos of all time.
..i remember a line from "Fear and Loathing"...... "now he owns the circus" .
Be still my heart...
Hubba, hubba
Ding, ding
I will never get to see this master live 😢
HAPPY FREAKIN' BIRTHDAY TOM WAITS !
AS GOOD AS IT GETS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been stuck in my head for a week, just great!
And this is frik'n good in 2024 as well
I was all of 20
I met my boyfriends’ friends
He’d known them for 20 years
We had dinner out
Drinks at bars on the way home
We smoked pot at their apartment
They put on the DVD of Big Time
I’d never seen anything like it
Lest heard anything like it
When this came on I swooned
In drunken stoned slumber
What a number!
20 years later and I’m a devoted Tom fan.
The man’s a fucking genius and one of fiercest, original and genuine groundbreaking talents alive today.
My best friend brought Small Change to my apartment one afternoon. Early 1970s. Put it on turntable, changed my life. No exaggeration.
Fun bit of poetry!
Thank you for this unexpected bit of Waitsesnes :-)
It presents as a disjointed cacophony when you break it down in to pieces, but when you put it together it works brilliantly. THAT is genius!
'Frank's wild Years' ist ein Jahrhundertalbum! Von vorne bis hinten gespickt mit großartigsten Songs.
Saw him twice live. Both times, unbelievable.
Shore leave on this one is amazing , had this on vhs and played it so much the tape wore and snapped .
This is the perfect BGM to any bar.
Love the light that Tom sings and dances with. Hanging work light leads the group, Waites is genius!
Advert for Rhino bulb?
a series of images and sound that can only be defined by the phrase: "Oh, baby!"
Marc Ribot is the Maestro Greg Cohen is bad ass bass man Harry Carney R.I.P.
RALPH Carney RIP. Good man, great horn player.
A complete and total live jive experience ! Even the guy up in the rafters with the spotlight is a part of the performance, Classic Tom Waits
the honesty of those drums was astounding
«Он словно вымочен в бочке с бурбоном, его будто оставили в коптильне на несколько месяцев, а затем, когда достали, проехались по нему».
Дэниэл Дачхолз о Томе Уэйтсе
I’m 41. When I was in high school I used to rent this vhs tape from a place called I Love Video. I’d watch it over and over all weekend. They only had 3 copies and eventually the guy at the counter just told me to keep it. Still have it all these years later. Hope he tours again. Got to see him at Jones Hall in Houston,Tx. I think it was 2009. Incredible 3 hr show!
Great story thanks for sharing! Funnily enough, jones Hall 2008 is the next show I'm gonna release on this channel!
When you put a lounge guy in a theater. He's tearing it up here. Love Tom so much.
This Was An Amazing Tour/Period. Great Show! Tom Waits So Talented. 🎶💙🌍
Awesome!!
This is the album I discovered in college in '88 that changed so much for me. I love this album and everything Waits I have listened to since.
Thanks for sharing .
One of my favorite songs by Master Frog Throat Tom.
I love you Tom Waits❤
Excellent love this
Brilliant. 😊
A piece of JOY, wonderful
This is one of my favorite performances of all time. Best song on Big Time.
This is so great
Superb!
That is fabulous!
Pure Gold!!
Masterclass
This arrangement tho! 🤌🏻
Wonderful,,, just, just wonderful...
Just great.
Love this a lot!!
Saw tom at the exit in Nashville best live show ever
An outstanding performance
Now that was a great lineup........one of my fav concerts
Siempre quise ver a Tom Waits en vivo impresionante un Maestro de toda la vida.
Where did he find those musicians? How do you compose something like this? It's pure genius.
The great Marc Ribot on guitar!
@@pacofernandez4591 Also
Ralph Carney - Saxes and clarinets (Started out in the excellent if obscure Ohio band Tin Huey, then kicked around for some years playing rock and jazz.)
Greg Cohen - Bass (NYC jazzer of some renown. He's played with John Zorn, among many others.)
Michael L. Blair on Drums, and Willie Schwarz on Keyboards aren't as well-known, but have similarly eclectic resumes.
Not exactly, it's 90% standard blues laid wide open in Waits' typical style.
@@37Dionysos Yeah this song is pretty standard blues and a "throwback style" for the time. It's not anything groundbreaking. Tom Waits is an actor playing a musician with a huge fake White Guy doing Howling Wolf. Never bought into this guy.
@@myradioon I'm not that hostile and dig both his sounds and lyrics. Just didn't think this song was "genius." Listen to "On The Nickel"---you can't always find a star who remembers what it is to live on the street in a country of no hope.
this is creativity when it happens in the time without the internet.
Beauty! 🙌
❤❤❤❤❤❤ wonderful
Great Tom! 🤘🤘🤘
One of his best songs
This is golden
This is the best video ever.
Freaking obsessed with the live version of this jam.
Wonderful performance and music 😅
what a performer! what a poet!
How awesome!!👍🇨🇦😎
Superb got it right😮
Mr Waits is one of a kind
National treasure
.... Absolutely IMPECCABLE 😂
love tom waits.
Late 70s, post-midnight, baked, toasted, and roasted TW on the juke... Finger snapping/popping, head nodding, smiling, laughing, sometimes tear dropping, TW did/does it all. No one compares. Still hooked.
Oh yeah I love this one😎
Great QuaL I T Y
thx
Love the captioning. So accurate
❤❤❤❤❤ just ❤❤❤
King!!
Love it.
Remember first time i watched Big Time on VHS...
I was doing Big Thangs...
Big Thangs...😐
😆
Still doing Big Thangs...
Big Thangs.😐
😆
oh my stars 😳 😆
A great great man a true word smith .
Excellente vidéo.
Crazy man
I love this shit
ok.
This edit is inspired, brilliant work
El mismísimo Tom Waits!
❤💃🎪❤WHIIII ~TISH ❤🎶💃🎶THANK YOU ❤
this version is soooooooooo good
Great version here in this video !Was on this concert in Stockholm, TW was playing three days in a row in an ordinary cinema theater, not hat big. Best concert ever. After that, maybe sometimes a bit "too big", sometimes more of a concept.? Next concert series after still good, but not like this. Of course, here alsorather close after "Rain Dogs", the masterpiece. And Marc Ribot on the guitar...
so beautifull, i am jeaolus
Genius
What do you call Tom Waits light bulb?
“Tom Watts.” 😂
Amazing! Tom is great. Please do a full tour. We need it.
Every aspect of this is impeccably executed! Bravo Tom and all involved. Magnificent! Thanks so much for sharing! 🙌
My new favourite Tom Wait’s musical performance! ✨💫🌖
This needs to be released on blu-ray or at least dvd.
crazy goodness
