I keep telling myself : Self, if Tom Waits is scheduled to perform live anywhere on any given day and i can still breathe, see, and drive a car, i’m-a be there. That’d be the perfect last act for this old broad. Can’t think of anyone else i would make the effort for, if i’m being honest. I have been damned lucky, been lotsa places, and watched i don’t know how many live performances by so many artists that i still find it hard to believe. But this one, he has to be last. Because there isn’t anyone better. Fingers crossed. Love yourselves, and each other.

Tom Waits Sings & Tells Stories in "Tom Waits: A Day in Vienna", a 1979 Austrian film... "The film begins at a derelict gas station. A paper sign, peeling from the wall, warns in German that open flames and smoking are dangerous and strictly forbidden. In walks Tom Waits, smoking a cigarette. “This reminds me of a place I used to work in National City, California, called Spotco Self Service,” Waits says as he leans against a pump. “I worked for a gentleman named Charles Spotco. I was always late for work. I used to stay out at night. I’d come dragging to work, used to get there about ten-thirty in the morning. He’d chew me out and scream at me for being late. He always said I’d never amount to nothing. I never thought I’d be standing in a gas station in Vienna Austria. If I’d of told him that one day, Spotco, I’ll be leaning on a gas pump at a gas station in Vienna Austria, he would have said you gotta be out of your mind.” The scene is from Tom Waits: A Day in Vienna, a half-hour Austrian TV film shot on April 19, 1979, and shown above in its entirety. Filmmakers Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher approached Waits when he arrived in Vienna on a short European tour, according to Barney Hoskyns in Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waits. “He came in from Amsterdam saying he hadn’t slept all night, but he agreed on the spot to let us film him,” Rossacher told Hoskyns. “He didn’t want to do a proper interview but instead he wanted to tell stories.” Dolezal and Rossacher drove Waits to the old gas station and later to a Greek cafe, where he told a comic story about a saxophone player. At the Konzerthaus that night they filmed Waits and his band performing “Sweet Little Bullet From a Pretty Blue Gun,” “Shake, Rattle and Roll” and “Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis.” Backstage before the encore, Waits is shown pacing back and forth, singing “When the Saints Go Marching In.” Afterward, in a lounge, he sits down at a piano and plays a few bars of “I Can’t Wait to Get Off Work” before dancing with a bar girl and retiring for the night." www.openculture.com/2013/05/tom_waits_a_day_in_vienna.html
The same way a grifter can break your heart and you will give him everything, while another person will simply turn around and walk away. You have to, on some level, want to be deceived.
After the last couple of years emotional roller coaster rides including my mothers death, birth of my twins, moving house, changing job and corona lockdown, i stumbled upon this again, and finally gave me back a little peace of mind ! Thank you Tom, for making the world a better place, thanks for uploading this :)
Awsome - I did not know that he made a short movie in my beloved home city of Vienna, Austria, Central Europe. HE, Waits, is great and legendary- so is Vienna, too.

Tom is always unique, that's why I love and adore him If I could meet anyone in the world, past, present, or future it would be The mesmerizing Tom Waits .

a quote tom should have said was " i like to live dangerously in my spare time i smoke next to gas pumps" since iv never heard him say it i'll just tuck that one in my pocket and claim it.
@@djuffdwuff9591 If it was in moulin rouge it is now a Vapiano restaurant in Walfischgasse 1010 Vienna. Apparently it might also have been in Mozartsaal in Konzerthaus Wien. Don't know in which of those locations it was actually filmed.
wird wohl auf Zeitzeugen rauslaufen, gibt leider sehr wenig infos zu der doku ... trotzdem grenzgenial das Gesicht vom Dolezal als Tom durch die Tür geht :-)

muhkuh0816 That wasn't exactly Shake Rattle and Roll. It was mostly made up of Pasties and a G String verses/choruses interpolated with a bit of Shake, Rattle, and Roll in the choruses which he does not add in the studio version. It's kind of amazing how different it is from the studio version of Pasties since it has a full rock band setup in this live performance while it was just drums and Tom with no other instruments in the studio.
Regarding the 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' story Tom tells here; the same story is told by actor Frankie Faison (AKA Ervin Burrell in The Wire) in the 1979 Jim Jarmusch film Permanent Vacation. Given that Tom and Jim are friends, would it be fair to suggest that Jim stole the story from Tom?

Tom Waits is a blessing on human kind. He has changed my life, and continues to make it worth living.
Same here bro, I hope we enjoy him until the end of our days

every time tom waits sings my dog barks
Trevor Hale Love Are you sure it's not the other way around
Do the taxicabs park?
Fantastic! How 2 people have watched and then not liked this is beyond me!
Nickelback fans are something of an epidemic. It's kind of tragic really.

Beautiful man, beautiful songs, beautiful storytelling beautiful et cetera cetera... Thanks for sharing this on here :)
This program is killer! This never came up in the suggested videos until now, but I'm glad to see it now. One of my favorite eras in Waits' career.
The Best!
Awsome - I did not know that he made a short movie in my beloved home city of Vienna, Austria, Central Europe. HE, Waits, is great and legendary- so is Vienna, too.
Pure genius.
Who is this man who seems to be drunk all the time?
Everything Charles Bukowski, Warren Zevon etc....ever wanted to be. 😻
Thanks for the upload. Those documentaries of Mr Waits with interlude are always a feast, at least for me! He is one of the best artists AND entertainer.
Oh, at 27:40 this reminds me of:
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home....
thanks! half an hour of my life well spent. absolutely magic, mesmerizing
What a gem!! I’m going to have to scour the internet for a copy of this ❤
That was beautiful and unique. Thanks for posting!

Rare & beutufull! Once again M. , thank you for sharing :)
This shortfilm is a masterpice!
there will never be anyone as cool as him for the rest of history
Ron Perlman is amazing, he should do more of this instead of shite like Pacific Rimming.
I’ve always wondered how he could have been so successful in two pretty distinct industries.
War im Konzerthaus. Die Form des Fensterrahmens im Backstagebereich bei 17:30 bestätigt das. Und vielen Dank fürs Hochladen, muhkuh0816!
Actually the end isnt really a lounge but its kind of a brothel in vienna....
Very Leiwaund! Danke für den AB-LOHD
Tom Waits is a National Treasure.
Oh man, I've been looking for this for a long time! Thank you very much ;)
SUPER! Dass der Film hier läuft - laufen darf!!
I saw him live years ago in wellington NZ.
I treated nyself and went on my own. Amazing.
OMG thanks for sharing this!
first time i heard tom waits was in a basement apartment in toronto, played by a late nite taxi driver and a gem smuggler from europe

Smoking a butt while leaning in a gas pump...

True That!

i was driving today playing tom waits loud and some fat lady yelled at me complaining about something but toms soft voice drowned her walrus hollers
Melted Fro Hahahaha
This man is literally a James Dean and Ron Perlman hybrid.
grandios - vielen Dank fürs Teilen!!

amazing film!
I don't know if i learned anything new about Tom Waits in this "documentary" other than he worked at a gas station once but.. i still dug it. Lol.
+TheKillaComa the moulin rouge in vienna isnt a brothel anymore ;-)
Yes it became a night club and now it´s an Italian restaurant.
@@remag94 where, in Vienna, is that restaurant?

Cigarettes and coffee, man, that's a combination!
Smoking by a gas pump?!? 💥
Great Tommasino...I
It probably is, yeah. 'Lifted' was probably the word I was looking for.
So it is. With love so great.

A really interesting look at pre-Swordfish Tom.
Wonderful

anyone knows what is the song played at the dance starting at 27:30?

Does anybody know how the song is called, the one starts about 19.05?
I doubt you're still wondering but just in case, it's Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis :)

Wo ist der da wohl aufgetreten? Mit der Bitte um gefälliges Feedback von Zeitzeugen.
Wer hat da mir ihm gespielt? Lebensweisend...das erste Mal bei Daniel Klemmer gehört. Um 12.10 - Cafe Jensseits? Does anybody know?
Best possible ending. What a playboy haha
ohhh.. wow!!!!
who says they don't?

why men like him dont exist nowadays?
men like him didn't exist then either, he's one of a kind

Stole? Would not think so. More likely they would know from each other what the other does, sharing material, creating art.
