Tom Waits Live
Aug. 2nd, 2006 01:23 amI only hope I can be as awesomely cool as Tom Waits, when I grow up.
Played "Make it Rain," first. Did two encores. The first one consisted of "Singapore" immeadiately followed by "Goin' Out West," which I really wanted to hear him play, because I was thinking about how his music has this down and dirty Weird Shit kind of vibe, to it, where he gets across the exact sensory impressions that he means to, and I wanted to ask him if he knew Voodoo (heh). So of course it got stuck in my head.
Every version was different, and he didn't play what you'd expect, only what'd you'd hope.
His between set banter was amazing. Goddamn I love Tom Waits.
I saw Pete the Trivia Guy, and Widgett, there.
It was amazing, on so many levels, even though I didn't get to meet Dr. Waits (see "Coffee and Cigarettes.")
TIme for sleep and awesome dreams.
