Tom Waits on Austin City Limits


I just watched a Tom Waits performance from long ago and thought it was awful. This was on my local PBS station a couple weeks ago and even though I have quite a few of his cd's going through all phases of his career it was very difficult to get through this performance which I would guess would be from the late seventies. If any one knows of this performance and can shed some light on it it would be appreciated.

I would have to disagree...I witnessed this older Waits performance on PBS as well...and promptly went out and purchased more Waits music...I would add though...this is Waits at his most bohemian/avant-garde phase...which might turn some off...I found it very entertaining, moving, and very musical...wish this performance was available on any format@
John Hammond did an entire album of Waits' material too called "Wicked Grin" that is worth a listen if you have not already.

I remain,
I've seen it myself a couple of times,and I consider it very good,however as you didn't enjoy it,beg, borrow,steal,or even kill and watch a copy of,Big Time,and,if you don't like this also then you need to consider your allegiances!
