Tom Waits Tom Trauberts Blues & story live in Paris 24/7/2008

[rponnie]

I'm still kicking myself for missing this...

[LeatherWriter]

Actually he is just a dude. I wouldn't be wasting my time recording subquality video though - I would spend the time taking in the experience with eyes and ears.

@LeatherWriter I may be the only one, ironically commenting a video response, but I agree with your statement.

...well, I have paid 520 euros for four tickets (just in case..), 100 euros for hotel, 200 euros for the trip to Paris, 150 euros for the drinks.. .. roughly 1000 euros spent to see this, the most beautiful and so long awaited, once in a lifetime event, experience of pure excitement, joy and happiness. Money does not make any sense in this situation..

p.s. could you, please, post "Innocent When You Dream" from 24 Jul 08 performance, if you have..

Many thanks, to all of you, Raindogs.

You got that right. Waits isn't just a dude.  He's an event.

[Magemastrtom]

I have to disagree. He's The Man, the Poet, the Prophet, the One.

69.70euro for the cheap seats it sounded better in real life but I agree 139 is pretty steep

can anyone make out his story at the end?

[recklesshighwaypig]

tosumup -i was reading a magazine on an airplane and it said "1 out of 10 men are important" ...i feel very important right now. it didn't hurt that I, my picture, was on the cover. but im dyslexic, the word wasnt important, it was impotent. you coulda knocked me over with a feather... and this kinda ties into that: every time a male has a release 250million sperm are released. and as you know only one sperm is gonna fertlize that egg. so point is before you even get here, youre a winner!

[shovb]

thanks Recklesshighwaypig (nice name :)) That old chestnut? He's told that a few times already - thanks very much for translating - i guess i should use headphones - would make things clearer.

Tom Waits is my doctor since 1991 ........he still is......but for 139 euros ticket le Grand Rex could arrange a real piano at least.....listen to this high notes!? I feel sorry for this world now.......can i go back and listen to Tom Waits in 1986 Big Time , Time? please

[stunneddotorg]

well he does take requests (just maybe not your request)

[SCLOGSE]

DOn't know why he doesn't ever do Empty Pockets, or Barbershop, or Foreign Affairs, or In The Coliseum, etc. Grand material, that stuff. Or Playin Hooky...which was only on a boot, but another classic.

Oh well, I'll go ask my cookie monster puppet to give them a try.
