Tom Waits - Montreal Jazz Fest (7-3-1981) pt 7

[rumblefishbone66]

Thanks SarahV for a most enjoyable evening indulging in one of passions Tom Waits.

[XjamBonBiLLX]

excellent merci

[ChaplAlina]

I love Tom Waits and his music a lot, but it is something wrong with his voice at this video (and during all the concert) where is his amazing deepness of voice? That wasn't his day... but still it is one of the most beautiful songs...

[LandoftheShanks]

Could you delete the one that says @ritzraff 'cause it got posted twice on accident =P

[SarahV]

@LandoftheShanks Twice? Try sixteen times! I deleted most of them.

[LandoftheShanks]

in his earlier years he always hid himself in interviews & whatnot. you know how he looked down a lot and was a bit jittery? like he had a lot internally going on and as time went on and he sang more and more it seems as though he has gotten more comfortable and open (of course his lovely wife helped him a lot and I love how he speaks so kindly of her). He really pours his soul out in his music. Seems like a sweet person.

[LandoftheShanks]

beautiful. absolutely beautiful.

[pigletized]

He's so beautiful!!!!

[ritzraff]

I AGREE. Talented, intelligent, and GORGEOUS.

[LandoftheShanks]

@ritzraff I second the "Talented, Intellient and GORGEOUS". He is really sweet. He has this shyness to him in a lot of his interviews you'll notice. He kind of hides his head, like there's something deeper. More internal you know? And in his later years he seems more open like when he sings he's getting out a lot. I enjoy that about him. Pouring out his soul. True performer.

[treedaddyfish]

thank you so much for posting this version. my all time favorite

[treedaddyfish]

WOW

[LudvigAlm]

That is TRULY the most amazing I have seen on youtube! The whole show, that is

[schleguedegaguen]

In the blizzard of the music coming from that century, this crystal performance will one day be known as a real and true classic. Thank you Tom for what you've done to the american dream and thank you SarahV for giving it to the world.

[Magemastrtom]

It will be never a classic, feelings can't be classics, feelings that everyone feels, but Tom says them!

It's modern, extraordinary, unique, fulfiled with life.

Thank you Tom.

[pearlynx]

This man has no equal. Staggering.

[witchdoctor7979]

Amazing. I love the heart that he puts into it. You can see it in his gorgeous face.

[simfliss]

If this doesn't break your heart then you aint got one. Bought this album after my lady left me, still kills me to this day.....

[SCLOGSE]

hey...eric...welcome to the heartland....andre

[ldnearthesea]

There's absolutely no noise from the crowd, as though they vanished. I've read where he had a crowd in Sydney, Australia completely silenced by performing this tune there, up until the last note.

[Cyclopat]

marci gros d'avoir posté ce show

j'ai passé un bon temps

thanks

[batts79]

Great - shivers down the spine... This is music, this is feeling. Say no more!

[SCLOGSE]

thank you. You make this place a classier place to visit. Way beyond anything any grammy award would be able to annoint.

Soon the grammy announcements will come out, and if WIdows Grove from Tom's Orphans CD doesn't get best song of the year, then I'm showing up to picket the Grammies. Seriously. Anyone want to join me?

[mergblue]

Thank you SarahV!

[Nighthawk19640]

Oh my godness. Outstanding version.

[shotbydriver]

Through my spine.

[kjkumac]

AMAZING  absolutely the best version

[EdraMc]

Amazing.

[mergblue]

This is the best version I've heard - thanks!

[moggy61]

what warmth and emotion

[Chinxyn]

I have tears just listening.

The musicians were Teddy Edwards and Greg Cohen.

SaraV you are ace, thanks.

[roncronton]

amazing,far better than the original i think,is this version available on any album of his?

[rjlchristie]

I attended this trio in New Zealand a few months after this was recorded. I regard the show as one of the finest live acts I have ever attended. The tenor player was the 'bluesiest' horn player I have ever heard. Can anyone provide details of his (and bass player)'s names and background. Thanks for posting this clip.

[briteness]

I am simply grateful to Tom Waits for this song and this performance. And I thank you SarahV for posting this video.

[drut1]

[bobbymcgraw]

simply one of the most beautiful people in the world - in every sense of the word
