Andreas, where are you? I `m looking for you always. When I´ll see you you again??

I´am always looking for you and  I will be waiting for you all my life. I´ ve never told you that I love you. I hope there will be a time fore us...

[juddcorey]

love the props to the Elbow Room. Check em' out when you're in Vancouver, B.C. Canada. It's true, they treat you like crap, and you should see the amount they do for their community. It's an awesome place. Don't ask for a refill. Just get it yourself. You'll save yourself a tongue lashing...

I was here, front row of balcony, amazing evening. Stay with me forever

[bogeyd2930]

Believe it or not...I'm from Johnsburg, Illinois- that's how I found this song.

[dan2212089]

even though his take on singing isn't really my cup of tea, this song, is simply brilliant. And even though I don't like the vocals too much i can hear the soul within his voice.

[LudvigAlm]

Too bad he messes up the verses..

[cielo27rah]

he created the song

it's impossible for him to

mess up the verses

[nustada]

@LudvigAlm

Maybe they were messed up the first time round, now its correct. Since he's the author, we will never know for sure.

Unless your God, then I digress...

[blagkonijn]

We should clone his sperm and feed his children alcohol, to preserve this genius genies genes

[anhelo911]

@blagkonijn

Yea, go for it. You get the sperm, I get the alcohol

[DirkjeA]

Best songs ever, especially "Invitation to the blues", touches me deep into my soul..

[bostoncady]

WOW! To hear these two songs together is great! I finally had the priviledge of seeing him in Nashville on the Orphan's tour. Thanks for posting!

TOM WAITS... 2004... in LONDON...

Same situation as Led Zep... Hahaha, wouldn't that be something if they had've played on stage together? I mean, I know it would never happen, but couldn't you hear him singing 'No Quarter' or 'Kashmir'?

Anyway, I like his intro. His intros are always entertaining. I've known about the stuff he said here, but it was so much more interesting hearing him tell it.

[maxkit777]

One of the best musicians and performers for all times. One of the best songs ever.

Hey "Sarahv"...., did u marry "Willyblues" ? It's a year ago now. Happy anniversary if you did. I hope Tom Waits was invited. He Knows EMOTIONS. He is Awesome !

[potatodar]

[pinklvnblonde3125]

i'm shocked that this little town has a song! (that's not about corn!) :)

[calth9]

that's because his wife is from that little town... just in case you didn't know :)

[pinklvnblonde3125]

i did kno that. why the hell would someone sing about it if it wasn't something special ;)

[BulutCyp]

[Willyblues]

Thanks for posting this, the songs are smoking!!

[tamadw]

THANKS!!  enjoying

[royalslack]

My favorite Tom Waits song...thanks for posting!

[DrugProwlingWolf]

Great stuff, but not sure about the strangled cat impression at the end of Invitation.

And his fingers weird me out.

[briteness]

Both of these are amazing songs, and there is no performer like Tom Waits. And since he doesn't go around touring much, for many of us, this kind of clip is the only chance we have to see him live. (Somebody should make a petition asking him to play out more.) Thank you for posting this.

[DirkjeA]

I react late, but only red your comment this evening. I saw him play life in Holland a couple of years (5 I think) and yes it was just breathtaking.

[eendracht]

Sarah V. bedankt.

[Malkiyyah]

Ya, she's my new hero as well. Thanks much for all the great uploads, SarahV

[DOVSTEIN]

sarah v is my hero
