I was playing this song in my bedroom the other day and my roommate's 7 year old son (who was in the other room watching cartoons) stopped what he was doing and peeked his head in and said "Who's that? That's really cool". He stood there and listened to the whole song before skipping back to his cartoons. I was so proud I could've cried!!!
Look you have done well perfect infact! Woah you are done even better it's not your kid? You just have given a gem to ruminant in the kids head and in 10 years he's talking gravelly with the hat and confetti in his pocket You said your roommates kid. Right???. Either way you are dropping knowledge
What I love about this man is that every performance is different. He never sounds the same and it's awesome! He just feels the moment. He's also a brilliant lyricist and story teller. Tom Waits makes my soul happy!
"This stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line"...I remember a sly grin going across my face every time I would listen to that line while snorting a line, lol. Tom always made me feel a little less like the crazy guy. He will forever be my favorite artist - the real fucking deal. Style just oozes.
Same here man. I felt normal while I would load up on every and all drugs all the time, because of Tom! He was someone that could relate. And I wouldn't feel so crazy lol
Only the GREATEST!!! I been going to this bar for like 6 years now and we just got a new bartender and just about the first things she played on the jukebox was His Honor. I about freaked and fell in love immediately.
This song gets me going in the morning. Put in my earphones, jump on my bike (an actual bicycle) and ride to work while listening to this song, smiling the whole time. People give me weird looks as I go by.
This guy is THE definitive of cooler than cool... hipper than hip... he is so cool... xanax run from him screamin'!! Get down Tom!! I could watch this over and over...!
This track along with Blue Valentine is def on my "Coma List" A list of songs (written during my teen angst years) for if ever I'm in a coma then my family need to play the list of songs to me to provoke an emotional response. No way even a coma can stop that with this song! It'll cut right through ;0)
I can't stop watching this video. Just incredible. I love the walk up to the mic in the beginning, swagger like a boss. Wish I could find the origin of this clip, there has a to a full concert/performance video from this... you can tell at the end he's going on to another song.
Amazing talent. Don't smoke... u may think cancer won't get you but it gets everyone who smokes... you're just waiting the train wreck... don't smoke. I lost my father, my mother my younger brother and my old brother all to cancer, and I'll probably go the same way eventually... don't smoke.
Got to see him in Detroit in 08. It was ridiculously, incredibly mindblowingly amazing. Keep your eyes peeled, for dates and stuff, he keeps it low key.
Although it's not my favourite song by him I can't help but watch this slack-jawed. Just look at how he uses his body, it's spectacular, not to mention that voice! Jesus! Isn't this just beautiful? He just has to open his mouth and I'm transfixed.
saw him when he was touring with Bonnie Raitt back in the day. Unforgettable night and they are both still kicking ass and haven't sold out. Some remain
does anyone know the name of the song that comes in at the end of this video only a few bars played but my dad loves it and cant remember the name!!! please help xx
Sounds like 'Til the money runs out but I'm no expert. I can think of a couple of songs that use that riff, After Dark by Tito and Tarantula being the first one that comes to mind.
@@theo-jamesmoulton2000 that's true! In fact, there's a song from "top Jimmy and the rhythm pigs" that use that riff (the song is called 'she ugly') and by the way, Carlos guitarlos who is the guitar player of that band is the same guitarist that recorded the guitars in the whole heartattack and vine album.
I have been a fan of Tom Waits for a while, but this video made my jaw drop. I have never been so absolutely hypnotized by a human being's stage manner and presence. I knew less than fifteen seconds into this video that it was going in my favorites; and I don't favorite very many videos.
I "saw" this song on my vynil record for twenty years, or may be more... many thanks for the share :). Tom sings in Paris tonight, and no money to go to see him... too bad.

This is the single coolest thing that has ever happened on earth in all history.
Tom is without a doubt one of the coolest people to ever exist.
Kind of hard to top it huh
You don't need to watch any more noir movies once you hear this song
Agreed.
Was actually cooler when he throws a match here th-cam.com/video/RsIl4eIwufk/w-d-xo.html

Not exactly a kid friendly song lol but cool nonetheless
I’m so proud🎉😢🙌👏👏🤘

Either way you are dropping knowledge
if you're half as cool as tom waits, you're still cooler than 95% of the world
Universal fact, man.
Yo...
What is the definition of 'cool'...? It is Tom waits.
Nobody is half as cool as Tom waits
@bert smith Yes. But how do we know that's just not an attitude?
he's Cooler than the other side of my pillow
Hammer.... Nail.... Nailed it, he's the King of Cool
Well done, sir...Well done.
Perfect comment
The man's cooler than the Antarctic in winter.
He's cooler than liquid nitrogen.
Tom Waits is cooler than absolute zero.
you know there ain't no Devil it's only God when he's drunk.
I been quoting that line for years since I first heard this song.
Tom can shit better lyrics after eating alphabet soup than most writers can on their best day
Mark8395217 so can townes
This was written by screamin jay Hawkins tho. But I still agree
@@alastairk0159 It was written by Tom Waits and later covered by Hawkins.
@@xxdfoster dude they're my two favorite artists
Tom Waits smoked a cigarette once. It got cancer and died.
eschelar Not before getting it's heart broken by a platinum blonde and wondering bar to bar descending into alcoholism.
Žiga Auer I'll drink to that. Well I would. If I hadn't gotten cirrhosis of the liver from listening to this playlist...
eschelar You actually made me spit out my gin haha! Great comment!
eschelar I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobatomy!
dorkgirlalamode lol, my favorite quote ever

feel that~~~
Same here man. I felt normal while I would load up on every and all drugs all the time, because of Tom! He was someone that could relate. And I wouldn't feel so crazy lol
Can't say enough about this man's soul ! We all scream like he does in our sleep !
What a talent.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. The man is a genius.
Only the GREATEST!!! I been going to this bar for like 6 years now and we just got a new bartender and just about the first things she played on the jukebox was His Honor. I about freaked and fell in love immediately.
that was Dorothy Parker who said that, he was quoting her. but yes, TW is a genius
@bert smith Really? Groucho said this originally?
Mass amounts of drugs were harmed in the making of this song
HAHAHA ikr
Spikito nah he doesnt use drugs much. he just.. drinks.. like a lot.
He's been sober for like 25 years
Mr Pupp Nah as much as we like his blues, Tom was never a heavy drinker, he was a chronic smoker tho
the coolest record he ever made; sadly, often over looked, but it is very special album in his catalogue.
I managed to gravel my drive with Toms vocal, and still had 4 minutes left when I was done.
Legendary voice
One of my all time top 5 Tom waits songs ❤
What would life be without Waits? I don't understand that there is people out there that don't like this! It's just.. wow!
This song gets me going in the morning. Put in my earphones, jump on my bike (an actual bicycle) and ride to work while listening to this song, smiling the whole time. People give me weird looks as I go by.
Smile and the world will smile back to you! Go on with your morning routines to meet the day..
it's unnerving to watch someone over the years have such a command of his art. fearless, stunning artistry.
This guy is THE definitive of cooler than cool... hipper than hip... he is so cool... xanax run from him screamin'!! Get down Tom!! I could watch this over and over...!
Makes time stop he's so cool !
He's so cool you need a coat to get close to him.
My kinda woman.
now that is a hell of good way to discribe it. amen to that, this guys got the voice man
For a guy named Tom Waits he sure gets to the point 😉
Ha!
I see what u did there😂😂
Heard this song on the radio last night and blasted it with the windows down...smiling all the way. Now been listening all day. Brilliant.
I went in a mountain refuge in Spain where they played this song. The residents couldn't understand a single word of English but they LOVED Tom Waits
BEST ALBUM EVER…..
Bravo Tom
god.. why cant music be this good now.. i would have loved to be old enough to have seen this live.......
He is still with us.
This track along with Blue Valentine is def on my "Coma List" A list of songs (written during my teen angst years) for if ever I'm in a coma then my family need to play the list of songs to me to provoke an emotional response. No way even a coma can stop that with this song! It'll cut right through ;0)
im 46,been listening to Mr.Waits since i was 17.He still blows me away
What a classic....Raunchy as hell...
Alan Eisenberg “Raunchy” is a superb adjective!!
I can't stop watching this video. Just incredible. I love the walk up to the mic in the beginning, swagger like a boss. Wish I could find the origin of this clip, there has a to a full concert/performance video from this... you can tell at the end he's going on to another song.
This is an old-ass comment, but in case anyone else is looking for it: th-cam.com/video/iG0p2JHcsQ0/w-d-xo.html
"You know there ain't no devil, there's just God when he's drunk".
Brilliant.
There is tom waits and then a mile down the road is everybody else
Thats one of his best ever lines I recon.
Amazing talent. Don't smoke... u may think cancer won't get you but it gets everyone who smokes... you're just waiting the train wreck... don't smoke. I lost my father, my mother my younger brother and my old brother all to cancer, and I'll probably go the same way eventually... don't smoke.
living is the only cure to death.
There is no cure for death!
+NeonsStyle Chill!! I lost all my folks to Cancer! One of them died of lung Cancer at 48 and never ever smoked a cigarette! Go Figure!!
Yep... genes... but genes or no.. smoking will get you..
+NeonsStyle Sure smoking helps it, but there's so many things in this fucked up world that can kill you, who cares if you help by a few years...
I wish I could go back to a Tom Waits show from back in the day. I would have loved to catch him live in black and white.
Don't you know there ain't no Devil? There's just God when he's drunk.
I would hand my soul to the devil to be there, just for this one.
jameson spencer Try him and you might get lucky...
A real HAPPY 73th Birthday to Mr. Tom Waits and really ALL the best to him ... (2022-1207)
Best performer in the world ever !!! Period !!!
GORGEOUS !!
Unique artist!
Deep respect to u,Great Master!
Got to see him in Detroit in 08. It was ridiculously, incredibly mindblowingly amazing. Keep your eyes peeled, for dates and stuff, he keeps it low key.
tom is unique. he's a shaman into the spirit of our time. takes it in and fires it out. pumps the rhythm out like a pulse. specially hot here.
This is probably the best performance I have ever from him and I have seen him live. It just left me speechless. Where is this concert?
small change is great too
This is one of the best things I've watched on TH-cam. Complete kick ass, bad assery.
Although it's not my favourite song by him I can't help but watch this slack-jawed. Just look at how he uses his body, it's spectacular, not to mention that voice! Jesus! Isn't this just beautiful? He just has to open his mouth and I'm transfixed.
This performance is the very definition of cool. I've watched it a hundred times so far and it just keeps getting better every time I see it.
This performance defines COOL for me.... Awesome
Tom is the coolest dude in my book!
What a beautiful blacktop voice. Never seen a sexier man. Any more replays of this video, and my lungs might start getting potholes.
Still my all time favorite artist.
How would you like to close down a few bars with this dude
ephemeralities I’m getting kind of old. He’d probably ditch me at bar number 2.
fucking genius!
Hommage à un ami parti trop tôt. Merci Monsieur Waits pour votre inspiration.
then, now, 20 years from now, no one better!
WINNER!!! hands down....Coolest video on TH-cam...just try and find something better.
@CosmoTF THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU WILL HAVE MADE MY DAD A VERY HAPPY MAN XXX
i10 years since you posted a coment on this guy
Man, that part where his voice enters a whole new realm of high-pitched power just blasts me away.
saw him when he was touring with Bonnie Raitt back in the day. Unforgettable night and they are both still kicking ass and haven't sold out. Some remain
does anyone know the name of the song that comes in at the end of this video only a few bars played but my dad loves it and cant remember the name!!! please help xx
The song is called "till the money runs out" and there's a full video of the song from this show uploaded on TH-cam. I hope you'll find it
Sounds like 'Til the money runs out but I'm no expert. I can think of a couple of songs that use that riff, After Dark by Tito and Tarantula being the first one that comes to mind.
@@theo-jamesmoulton2000 that's true! In fact, there's a song from "top Jimmy and the rhythm pigs" that use that riff (the song is called 'she ugly') and by the way, Carlos guitarlos who is the guitar player of that band is the same guitarist that recorded the guitars in the whole heartattack and vine album.
Till the Money runs Out
I would guess Lucinda.
I have literally never seen a sexier man in my life
For me,This song opened the door to the world of Tom Waits music.
A true testament of what cigarettes can do to your voice! superb!
The reality is you just CAN'T get a voice like this without smoking
The oldest young man ever.
Live by myself and still had to turn around to make sure nobody was watching me enjoy this.
Just saw his amazing acting in Netflix’s ballads of buster Scruggs directed by the Coen Brothers. So real no matter what he does. What a talent!
Ali Khan yup!
anybody knows which concert this is and if there is a full version ?!
would be nice if u can help!
+Aggropop Paris 1979 watch?v=iG0p2JHcsQ0
Can anyone tell me what track they're playing after they finished this one? The first couple of bars sound way too fucking cool!!!
+andrew7taylor till the money runs out
+GritsMandingo Thanks man!

UNREAL ...THE BEST MUSICIAN & COMPOSER FOR SURE
I LOVE HIM
tom waits is beyond amazing.
the whitest black man i've ever seen
The most incredible thing ever recorded!!!
There's Tom Waits and then there's everyone else -- it's really that simple. What a great video.
Go deeper. You will never forget this.
kel superbe numéro, vs avec tt la, chant voix musique rhytme, gestuel, et un grand acteur
Love this and thanks for the memories.
I have been a fan of Tom Waits for a while, but this video made my jaw drop. I have never been so absolutely hypnotized by a human being's stage manner and presence. I knew less than fifteen seconds into this video that it was going in my favorites; and I don't favorite very many videos.
Sultry... Superb... Splendid... Second to none...
This was the tune that did it for me, as well.
It's amazing he could ever sing again after doing this performance.
sublime!
Pure class!
can't stop watching it... it's been a week now!
Always liked this number but had never seen it done live. Thousands of thanks!
Have to revisit this one often. Great stuff!
I "saw" this song on my vynil record for twenty years, or may be more... many thanks for the share :). Tom sings in Paris tonight, and no money to go to see him... too bad.
This just never gets old!
