Tom Waits Live Silent Night + Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis

[ColonBurns]

I like how they laugh at the beginning and by the end they are silent and realize how depressing this song is

[ToliveAnimations]

Every time I want to die, In a good way

[gogotsnail]

What year is this? I'm thinking 1978-ish?

[mstrultan]

@sergiomelon Hey, Sergio! The sax at the end of this is the opening notes of Small Change. Can you put that up? I'd like to hear a live version.

[Acexwanderer]

That time of year again.

[ooinos]

ma perché sti coglioni ridono?

[unklelemmy]

Most talented man alive.

How many insensitive bastards in the world. Even in a Tom Waits concert. How somebody can laugh listening to these lyrics?

[justinwgrover]

@walternyc I hope you're joking. His lyrics are meant to be funny/sarcastic.

[fossie32]

I heard this a long time ago and thought it was great but its not on cd? Had not heard it since. Thanks for posting it.

[Cobainpunk74]

@fossie32 It's on his album Blue Valentine!!

[fossie32]

@Cobainpunk74 Thanks I have that but he doesn't do the Silent Night bit on there. Cheers :)

[Mynymphya]

what is the song that he sings at begining and in the end. can you please tell me the lyrics.

[danimelization]

just tears on my face

[UnDeadGamers]

A very whiskey soaked Christmas? Love it.

[bennettosu]

How is it that anyone could dislike this song/video. Tasteless and senseless fools. Maybe, they'll understand in their next life...

[badphishify]

Tom Waits is one of a kind a true artist. i thought i had everything he did but i was really wrong. ive got 6 gigs of tom and i always find more. this is a great tune!

[BrooklynJackBlue]

Not to speak in hyperbole, but...Tom Waits has been there, done it, sung about it, and come away drunk from it. Life is a state of mind. And Tom? He's the governor.

[benho6251]

I got to see him perform this in a Miami concert in November 1978. It was an amazing moment in an unforgettable concert. When he sung Silent Night at the end you could've heard a pin drop.

[coldworld99]

THE MAN IS A GOD....NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS...POET, ARTIST, LEGEND, TOM X

[ksztopciowna]

oh, how i wish i was on his concert in some small, full of cigarettes' smoke pub...

[sclogse1]

[skkniffe]

Incredible. Thanks, Tom, for you.

[Acexwanderer]

This has gotten me through many Christmas's.

[BrotherBadSeed]

I wish more people shared this taste in music. It's truly haunting.

"Everyone I used to know is either dead or in prison. . ."

I shudder.
