It's so amazing to have this early years material posted up on the web. I always feel like there's not enough Waits on TH-cam, thank you so much for giving us the opportunity of listening more of this legend. Cheers from Brazil :)
For anybody who ever Ever wanted to write creatively, this man is debilitating...and soul stealing. His words reach into your spirit and wrench it dry like a wet wash cloth. Tom Waits leaves me exhausted and dumbfounded, in all the best ways.
Mr. Waits, your music has been an important part of my life for a very long time. From "Step Right Up" on, one of the greatest story tellers I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Thank you!!!!
Thanks for this gem. Love it every time & seeing you young is ... Well it's kinda special. You're a fantastic storyweaver of inebriational travelogues. Much love & respect to you, Tom. Thank you for all you do & have done.
Karneges is gold through and through never let them forget him he deserves a Medal of Honor or something for handling my case so well. He is one of my picks for health beyond.
I once heard a version of that song by a female singer but I don't know her name and I just can't find it anywhere. This so annoying coz it is from far the best version ever of it. If someone understand what I'm talking about just let me know. Thank you.
@@dillon790 -No but the one Im talking about is an european or english grown woman! The thing i remember is that the drums were not played with sticks but with the kinda brushes sometimes used in jazz music! But its alright i will find it one day!😃😃😃!
This dialogue was on Nighthawks at the diner my first TW album....artist..........i d rather have a bottler in front of me than a frontal lobotamy...lol
@@cahillgreg censured??? well, mr. youtube, as horrifying as that sounds, i will take my chances. and your insults toward american genius tom waits means nothing because you know that at least 300,000 brits have already stolen this version as they have from the beginning of popular music. even mccartney said the stones are a glorified blues band. sour grapes, nothing but sour grapes my orthodontically challenged wanker.
One of the only men or people I ever trusted.
Waits, bukowski, and the devil makes three.
The Ghosts of Saturday Night, is the reality after the Heart of Saturday Night!
I agree!

Saturday night shit show.

The man is a treasure.
The first Tom Waits song I ever heard - probably early 70's - and still one of my favorites. Tom and his music are timeless.

Well written sir.
This is pure class,love you Tom
Nobody can turn a phrase like Tom Waits.
This man was truly an old soul even from the beginning. ❤
I love how different the live perfomances are from the albums. This song is almosy unrecognizeable
Amazing how he varies his versions of his own songs He's a storyteller-poet.
Picture in a Frame is about the most romantic song I ever heard. Piano Has Been Drinking is also fun.
Picture In A Frame, yes, and Gonna Take It With Me. Gut wrenchingly beautiful.
Tom is without doubt a genius, the man is a treasure.
Please never quit. Keep up your great work.
Wonderful!
Even the crack of dawn will understand.
I fucking love this song, my favourite real life artist, one of a kind.
What a brain on such a sweet man. Tom Waits is a GOD
Definitely a prophet. Proof there is a GOD.
Please please please feel sorry for those misguided people who don't get Tom Waits
Mr. Waits, your music has been an important part of my life for a very long time. From "Step Right Up" on, one of the greatest story tellers I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Thank you!!!!
Dang, I'd love to see this sir live 🤘🏻
perfection
Tommy and Johnny Mr. Waits and Mr.Prine can tell a story like no other.
Saturday night 🥃💨 costume prep, till my loyalty driver is “er.
It just keeps getting better.
good poetry but don't touch yourself. you are a miracle Mr. Waits.
Pure soul.
Thanks for this gem. Love it every time & seeing you young is ... Well it's kinda special. You're a fantastic storyweaver of inebriational travelogues. Much love & respect to you, Tom. Thank you for all you do & have done.
This is beautiful!

My favorite Tom Waits song. Almost looks like Bitter End in NYC?
“The coffee wasn’t strong enough to defend itself”😂😭😂
This is the one
The curse of being "Too young for your words."
I'm struggling with COVID or something ... this helps. Thanks, Tom.
i've heard a lot of versions of that song and uh that's a really fucking good version of that song
Talking Tom Waits blues
Starts like a Bob Dylan talking blues and ends like last time I saw Richard by joni
I am having coffee and cigarettes. This coffee is certainly strong enough to defend itself.
Elena, I don't know you but I'm pretty sure you lovely like a French Christmas sweet.💖!
@@wisdom-only- that may be the cutest thing anyone's ever said to me, or around me. Thank you.
Dylan step aside. Mr. Waits has spoken.
I once heard a version of that song by a female singer but I don't know her name and I just can't find it anywhere. This so annoying coz it is from far the best version ever of it.
If someone understand what I'm talking about just let me know. Thank you.
Norah Jones? She did long way home and she was brilliant on it
@@dillon790 -No, it was by a female jazz singer way more experienced and skilled than Jones.
@@wisdom-only- Diana Krall the heart of Saturday night, only female cover of Tom Waits I think
@@dillon790 -No but the one Im talking about is an european or english grown woman!
The thing i remember is that the drums were not played with sticks but with the kinda brushes sometimes used in jazz music! But its alright i will find it one day!😃😃😃!
@@wisdom-only- please forward it to me when you find it, I love this song very much and wanna hear every rendition of it
His peak was the album Heart attack and Vine. And Rain Dogs After...Shave!
I know what ya mean, gol. This is about as good as it gets. Smooth as good as aged bourbon .... Sings it like he means every twice-thought syllable
🏆🥇
Does anyone know the guitar hes playing?
It’s definitely a Jumbo. The video glare doesn’t help much with the headstock; maybe a Gibson Or Gretsch?

If this doesn't stop you in yer tracks ...yer already dead.
🍻 ☁ 🚬 🍸 😎
i sure wish someone would have told me about Tom Waits years ago, loving his music; great lyrics!
I need to take myself on a date.
This dialogue was on Nighthawks at the diner my first TW album....artist..........i d rather have a bottler in front of me than a frontal lobotamy...lol
"I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me, than a full frontal lobotomy." 🙂
i am back
Seems like a nervous Nellie, but I love him.
The Bill Hicks impression of him became "Alex Jones"
🐣
My last date with myself wss a disaster.
He looks scared to death - body language, swaying from foot to foot.. Imagine back then he was probably a very shy nature hiding behind the persona.
Noticed that too. Tom definitely became more confident and playful as a performer as he got older.
Raspy jubilance
Made a bollox of his own song
and by "bollox", you mean an ineffable, quite esoteric masterpiece?
yes, quite right, my pasty pig from across the pond... i totally agree.
@@BarneysBullit You mustn't let it upset you so; not to the extent that a racial slur slips out and you find yourself being censured.
@@cahillgreg censured??? well, mr. youtube, as horrifying as that sounds, i will take my chances.

I wonder if that cup of coffee ever even had a chance
