This grabs me by the throat and makes it hard to breathe. He is the voice of hte human condition, the ache of lonliness and loss inside us all, that unites us all. I can't stop the tears when I listen to this. Tom is the Van Gogh of poetry and song, a treasured artist.
Wow. Just wow. This is the performance that openend my eyes to how amazing Tom Waits is. Possibly one of my favourite live performances, ever. So beautiful and subtle, yet so simple. Thanks for posting this.
