[iwasbornin87]

what i won't give to have the full concert of this...

they just don't make musicians like that no more.

thanks for sharing

[Twoey2E]

@iwasbornin87 Come watch the whole concert on my channel!

[23moksha]

I'd probably appreciate it more if I could hear the words.

[glittermerchant]

who else thinks this probably occurred live IN black and white ...coz waits is that cool =D

[davko79]

They used this song to great effect in tv show homicide , episode called Bad medicine

[dickysipper]

the absolute pinnacle of cool...... tom waits kicks fucking ass

[sclogse1]

I love the way he moves up to the mic at the beginning, checking out all the angles and looking behind to see if somebody else is waiting in line....the best. I'd stop a bullet for this man.

[meighty69]

'Sold a quart of blood for half a pint of scotch'

This is one of Tom's best lyrics.

[OHollowTimes]

Dont'cha just wish they invented a Tom Waits Steroid. A solid shot in the throat and you will be swagging battery fluid and anti-freeze from a toby jug!

[FeedsNoSliesMusic]

@OHollowTimes Or a pint of green chartreuse.

[sclogse1]

@OHollowTimes

And stirring it with a nail.

[Craign21picas]

utter fuckin brilliance

[Ashley4339]

This man cannot be touched he practically breathes cool!

[alucardisdumb]

look at that bad motherfucker puffing down that that smoke while the band pumps out that black tar blues groove.

[LandoftheShanks]

Smoother than Tom Jones <3 Tom Waits FTW!

[SaveYoshi]

Does anybody else get the feeling he would be amazing at poker?

[lobolokoloko]

If Tom would carry coal in his pockets ... dimonds would fall out his pantlegs ... by the way... who has stolen f*ckin muffler ???

[coryzone]

E-fronkin-gad! This man is from another planet! This man has been sent to us lesser mortals to show us that beauty isn't always degas or renoir or the like. THIS is beauty Believe it or not!

[mrkrinkle72]

goddamn this is tom at his glitter throwing finest

[jazzmanEE]

lucky french wankers who got to see this genius live back then.

[susiepussycat]

a stunning performance captured!

HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY, Matey!

Thanx for all the tunes, words beyond me!!

[DrBlowfins]

He's a genius. This track is classic!

[mrhc]

Tom Waits is one of the greatest singers, but he ain't no genre. He's show and dance man doing blues.. with big freakin' balls.

[ALIKHANWEB]

Tom Waits is his own GENRE.

[TheSamara89kitten]

sex GOD!!

[fpaulago]

Pure performance....!!!! Stunning!!!!

[forestranger55]

I was at this concert in Paris - was teaching at the American School; surreal, superb, as Tom wrote, "there ain't no Devil, that's just God when he's drunk."

[CosmicChickenNo1]

it bob dylan if he swalowed a switch blade.

[Rafzorz1]

xD bob dylan on LSD

[glittermerchant]

i love the bass intro

its just damn funky...*shimmies*

[chokkan7]

"...sold a quart of blood and bought a half a pint of scotch..." just about sums up the entire history of the U.S. in a nutshell, doesn't it?

I love this guy's work.

[Marla1985]

it's a shame that there isn't the full performance of the song..

[SixStringPaladin]

there is. look up tom waits at the palace part one. He plays heartattack and vine then till the money runs out. It is in my favorites if you have trouble finding it.

[sivartpoker]

does anybody knows a better way to light a cigarrette?high class tom!

[oggendoggen2]

Boney got high-- for real this time-- in the crowd at 1:33

[aparkinson1980]

This sounds a lot like "Shakin All Over" by Johnny Kidd & The Pirates. In a good way. I'm sure he knows though

[Tabla461]

yeah I've noticed that alot of people steal the rhythms of 1-4-5 songs.

[sclogse1]

bye bye, baby.

[Z1cky]

28 years ago :D

Put that into perspective.

[hugecashfan]

Fabulous Tom Waits you are a genius

[PatFatSkinny]

You can find the full set the Tom Waits TV site under Full Concerts.

[gyudbal]

Oh man, SO much thanks!!!!

[DiReis77]

I could not find the website Full Concert.

Do you mind giving me the link ? Thank you so much!!

[PatFatSkinny]

The website is Tom Waits TV.

[mothsmoke]

Upmoded for the extremely useful information! Thanks a lot. I never knew about this...I saw Tom Waits in Edinburgh for the Glitterand Doom tour..they filmed the whole thing but wouldn't even let us take photos! I hope someday a video for the concert is available.

[gyudbal]

Fantastic. Fanatic:)

One of my favourite Waits songs. It has a special atmosphere.

I'm sad that it's not the full, but of course thanks for posting!

If anybody knows what concert was that, please write me!

Oh, yes: as always, congratulations Mr Waits. And million thanks:)

[ZombieAlekth]

This is just pure brilliance. I bet it actually happened in black and white.

Perfection every time with Waits.

[Valholm]

@ZombieAlekth It did not actually happen in black and white.

[blueoyster23]

This is from the Paris show (April 27?) in 1979 actually. I've heard some of the bootleg, at least the first two songs (Heartattack and Vine and this). Personally, even though this isn't complete like the bootleg version, watching and hearing this song is amazing.

[oggendoggen2]

I always thought that the bassline from Way Down in the Hole was reminiscent of this song

[donmussell12]

The sax player also played in James Brown's Band in the same general era. What a great groove, yes?

[sclogse1]

What, no salad dressing?

[ZigZagWanderer]

Pitty it doesn't cover the whole song, great stuff nevertheless !!!

[oggendoggen2]

I like how he throws the match over his shoulder. Who else but Waits would do something that simple and make it that cool?

Was any of this ever released on CD?

[ZigZagWanderer]

It was released on "Heartattack and Vine".

[oggendoggen2]

no no no, I mean the concert

[Richtheraindog]

Don't know much about him bieng sexy but I've often said he's the coolest man ever.

Cool video, shame it's not the full version. Better to have half a glass than an empty one.

[PatFatSkinny]

Oh yeah - he's still as sexy today as he was in 1980! Even sexier!

[HarlequinMcCartney]

Once again! Sexiest man on earth!

[KatieHippieWannaBe]

@HarlequinMcCartney Ain't he though? ;D

[film2tape]

is there a video for his song $29 and an alligator purse??? lemme know

[trashthemovie1111]

sold a quart of blood and bought a half pint of scotch.

nothing but respect for this guy

[karl198]

Nice ;D i've never heard this song before. It's good though.

Just waiting till fellmanbains turns up to bang on about the internet xD

[humphreybflaubert]

yeah what a wanker.

this song's off heartattack and vine. i really wish i had the full version of it. i just love the way he tosses the match over his shoulder. way too cool.

[Twoey2E]

Come watch the whole concert on my channel!

[jandzban]

Twoey2E, big thx man

[pengwenwork]

[jeph63]

One of my all time favorite U2b finds. The last version of this vid got yanked for some reason. Hope your's sticks around for awhile.

[krub]

Played by heart...

[krub]

[TheTosun]

Simply amazing...
