In response to the guy who wants Waits off the net: I disagree. I'm all for artists being unmolested in terms of their art, but, fuck, how else am I going to get to actually see Waits perform?

I can't remember the last time he was in Toronto, and even if he showed up, I probably couldn't get tickets either because they'll be sold out in minutes, or I just won't be able to afford them. So I'm all for videos being uploaded, especially of his old stuff.

Jack Kerouac was far too shy to be a performer, he instead rendered his whole soul into his writings which went on to inspire guy's such as Tom Waits.......

I live in Australia, where it is a big fucking deal when international artists feel the urge to grace out venomous continent with their presence, In between these rare visits, YouTube does pretty damn well.

This was recorded live at Austin City Limits in December of 1978. I was on the road crew for this tour and Miles Davis is not the trumpet player.

[Mateus Grazina]

The trumpet player is the god of the horn. Mr. Miles Davis.

Somebody, please clip these two parts together into one single song. The pause ruins the flow of this awesome song.

[Mike Lennards]

Brilliant !!!!

Does any one know the name of the trumpet player, i cant find it anywhere?

[lasneh]
