Tom Waits - Big Time (6/10)

Big Time is a theatrical concert movie released in 1988, another wonderful Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan collaboration. This is truly a rare treat, he doesn't tour that much any more and this movie is a good way to make you regret missing out on his live acts even more.
At this point of his career he is leaving his early jazz years behind and
develops the roaring vocals around experimentation with various genres and instruments.

This fragment features songs Clap Hands
and Time.

Got to love this video. I can't wait till "Big Time" is available in DVD form. All of these things should be more easily available.  TY for getting the entire performance, as segmented as you had to do it. TY majamaja (you ole mamajamma you) regards, ~Wids~

The first time I heard Tom Waits' music, through a friend, I was hoping to God that he was as weird in his acts as he was talented...

Thank you God.

wine wine the goose drank wine

The Monkey chewed tobacco on the street-car line

The line broke, the monkey got choked

And they all went to heaven in a little row boat

clap hands!

If ya think about it...Chris Blum, who shot the film, still has his own positive copy of the film. But, before the negative was made to print these positives, there was all this film shot and edited to create the negative. So, where's the original source film for this? He's got a bit of Jagger in this tune...

I can't believe I saw this 20 years ago. This was ahead of his time then, and it's STILL ahead of its time.
