Tom Waits - Make it Rain and Jockey Full of Bourbon

[gabbath]

@SarahV What you've done, I can't give it a name. Absolutely priceless, thank you!

[nustada]

Why are there not many who strut in waits footsteps, why!!!

[sclogse1]

Note the Harmony H44 Stratotone Marc Rebot is playing....-seen best at 2:15- made in the fifties....I have a couple...not the Korean remakes...they play like butter...big thick necks, light body. Plop in a chair, no strap, and you never get tired...hours can go by. Thank you Sarah.

[mikemanzardo]

tom is one of a kind

[lestalkmorebasss]

who's the drummer... mad props dude.

[sclogse1]

@lestalkmorebasss

EIther the drummer is Casey Waits, (yes), or it's Brain, from Primus. Brian Mantia.

Someday, if we're lucky, the kids will talk about what it was like to grow up in one of the fascinating families in the U.S.

[lestalkmorebasss]

"yah know I'm glad the kids today are listnin' to da..."

[6StiX6]

Anyone know if he's gonna grace our little country with another visit?

[JazzBass420]

man, I love Waits

[brandojitsu123]

I did an acoustic make it rain, and while it isn't bad this man can make it rain like none other!

[rentalife]

straight genius!!-underrated but one of the ll time best!

[piratedenise]

as a girl, only TOM WAITS can give me a mad boner

[HMCgirl]

I agree with this comment and fully understand. WOO!

[glasseecube]

i am not a girl and im as straight as an arrow... but i get what youre sayin...

[pornisawayoflife]

@piratedenise as a boy, only a girl who gets off on tom waits gets me off

[ToasterTraveler]

oh tom tom, you make me rain.

[THEGR8BIGM0UTH]

What a legend

[waisinet]

Where can i get the complete Bootleg?

[yoitsgiook]

And my best friend.

[hagartheorical]

this is the best thing thats evr happend he is the noise in my head i cant thank him enough

[waisinet]

Who is the guy on guitar?

[SarahV]

Marc Ribot.

[LeeVaiM]

@SarahV Marc Ribot is a beast on the guitar

[dhatadi]

@SarahV Actually, I think that's Smokey Hormel.

[SarahV]

@dhatadi LOL. I don't know what it is about this set of videos that makes everyone want to argue with me about who is in the band. I saw five shows on this tour, including this one. I have no idea what would make you think it's Smokey Hormel...

[shadowofmorgoth]

waits is one of those artists who carved out an identity early on and stuck to it for decades. watching him perform, it's as if he hasn't aged over the years.

[doirevomba]

Oh, the magic of this song in Dublin on a rainy night in July 2008. Pure gold

[FayDalton]

what a class act!!!!

[bjorneols]

All my money.

[Untitledwiz]

word

[dissonancedistorsion]

Go Ribot go!

[prokiprich]

Amazing ! Nice feel to know .. the music dosent lost or not yet . Sadly Tom is an artist from the last generation whos shit to the celeb life and the media . Great video!

[Moose1223]

Ah there may be more. You just need a (wo)man who's tired of everything and enjoys the small things more than the big stuff and loves music.

[hmmpf]

why is that a sad thing?

[dalylu]

Tom is my main man...that's it really, only Johnny Cash compares

[zoomparker]

just once i like to see Waits live.

[guillaumestl]

Wow, that was awesome! Waits is just phenomenal and Ribot is a guitar god.

[Arckitekt]

Whoever is operating the lights is doing a brilliant job, Tom is captivating

[Yantryman]

Yo ppl, talkin' about rap, yes tom did rap and yes as you know Tom did a bunch of hilerious and outstanding bit-boxes. Just when Tom does rap it doesnt sounds like rap, it sounds like good old TOP CAT TOM!

[AhCrap1]

what he does now is pure gold... if he tried rap, i would probably kill myself lol

[etubruce]

Watching this makes me want to start eating sandpaper and smoking just to get that Tom Waits husky sound. I'm curious if he's ever experimented with any rap because that stuff would be pure audio gold.

[Paaaaaaaaaaap]

By covering things like saturdday night fishfry, and changing the way how to sing Psties ans G-string e.g. Tom has indeed done rap... besides, the roots of rap are Walking Blues, and Tom is as much of a bluesman as a traveller... old enough to be able to make his music sounding like Hank would have composed it, and Kerouac written. Kerouac is unbeatable, though.

[bloodpoop]

sigh

[sssaaaooo]

Marc Ribot's improvisation is really great

[jinnbaba123]

this sucks

[Verified1]

To jinnbaba123..Waits' concert tickets routinely sell out in 15 minutes. So if you haven't figured out why yet, it's OK. Hopefully you will someday.

[gabeanation]

that's brain from primus and praxis? awesome! way to go waits!!!

[kayotof]

Waits guest sang on a primus album a few years back.

[big30o6]

Exellent... Thanks for sharing you video... I was lucky enough to see him in concert but I still feel the need to see more of his performances... more! more! I just can't get enough! thanks again.

[tamadw]

WHO IS THE DRUMMER?

[SarahV]

The drummer is 'Brain' Mantia.

[mofrocrowe]

I still dont understand!!!

[gldmj55]

Cat's Ass!

[gabeanation]

awesome vid. waits has the best voice in history.

[ledved]

thank you so much! Mr. Waits doesn't come 'round minneapolis, mn very much, for reasons all his own, so this really....I can't say actually, just thank you, you're awsome and what ever you do, don't get shot.

[sgtsaute]

I saw Tom last month, this man is one of the best performers i have ever seen! Go see him if you can, hopfully it won't be in another 5 years!

[pemical]

you've got excellent taste in music

[maassenn]

I personally like the Letterman video of Make it Rain over this one.

[LiveGoat]

That's because Russell Simins and Judah Bauer from the Blues Explosion are playing drums and guitar on the Letterman version. It's got more feel. The drummer in this one is playing too rigid. Like a metronome.

[sandalwithin]

Yeah no kidding, the drummer really sucked on this one. The worst part is thats his son! HA! He has no feel for this music, rigid and lagging. Tom has to grab maracas to give the kid the tempo, its good after that. That would really piss me off to finally get to see my first Tom Waits performance and have to put up with his douchey son behind the drums.

[SarahV]

Did you comment on the wrong video or something? That's not his son... it's "Brain" Mantia. I'm sure Brain is flattered that you think he's young enough to be Tom's kid though ;-)

[waisinet]

He IS young enough to be his son, isnt he?

[SarahV]

If Waits had started a family in junior high, maybe.

[waisinet]

Hmm, youre right, Tom was 15 year old when Bryan was born. Is Brain really that old?

[sandalwithin]

oh! My bad. That is a relief though....

[bermizer]

Thats not his so its Brain Mantia. He also plays for primus and bucket head and others

[kuczwanski]

I have 12 or 13 of Tom's albums and love every one of them.  One of my favorites is his latest. Can't wait (no pun intended) for November. His next comes out on my birthday!

[sannev]

SaraV is so cool i wish my woman was in to waits

[artmaven]

Yo, robdbuck, I hope you got tix to his recent tour. It was fantastic. Watching this is almost like reliving it. The guy makes me wet every time.

Thanks for the great upload again SarahV.

[eduardodesimone]

Is Marc Ribot on guitar?

[goodwyn]

Small Change, Rain Dogs & Real Gone are the peaks!

[bungyak]

uh,what about bone machine and mule variations?

[goodwyn]

There are a lot of peaks & very few valleys in Tom's discography, but Real Gone is def. one of his best.

[JamalSlomack]

I love that fucking CD - I got hip to it in Shanghai, China of all places!!!!

Check out MY rendition of it - type in Carlton J. Smith

[bobdoletheband]

swordfishtrombone aint to bad!

[lawnchair389]

i personally love the albums Mule Variations and Rain Dogs -note on rain dogs Keith Richards from the rolling plays/sings backup on the song "blind love"

[tydogg]

I think the Heart Attack and Vine album is deffinetly up there with his best... can't think of another song in the world that hits me as hard as On the Nickel...

[cheesekitten50]

Rain is the best album from him no doubht.

Im not too keen oh his later stuff.

Its too Wierd for the sake of being wierd.

[JamalSlomack]

I perform both of these songs with my band. Y'all have no idea how funky "MAKE IT RAIN" is/can be. It never fails to kill. "JOCKEY" is a classic from the "RAIN DOGS" LP. I never feel better than when I'm interpreting Toms music.

[robdbuck]

graet line that

"without you love, without your kiss,

hell cant burn me more than this"

The guys a genius, pitty I cant see him live....

[JamalSlomack]

I love the line in the song where he says, "....what she does, you can't give it a name....". Do you have the CD "REAL GONE"? If not pick it up it's great!!!
