Tom Waits - Rosie (Live @ Lee Furrs Radio Studio KWFM Tucson, 1975)

The mercurial Tom Waits in session on radio in 1975. The track 'Rosie' can be found on his remarkably mature debut album 'Closing Time' on Asylum records.

@CollarboneOfAHare

Beautiful!! Thanks.

Didn't think I could pile on any more accolades for this guy. Mercurial is right.

Great great stuff. Wonderful song - even better live. Thanks a lot!!

[Tubbymucker]

I kind of agree that it loses some appeal due to the speedier tempo but that's just me. To say that TW is rushing it however is a laughable.....I'm sure Tom can do what the hell he wants to the tempo and not give a crap what anyone thinks. Thanks for posting kristerviken, it's a real pleasure listening to this old live stuff.

This is a brilliant rendition, in my opinion. Music breathes and lives and moves and when somebody is performing live, songs take on other forms and emotions.  I respect that you think he is rushing it @turtles12 but give it another listen see if you can't hear some a bit more heart than the album?

@turtles12 Oh get over it you purist.

@turtles12

The title clearly states that this is a live version.

This implies it's probably not going to sound like the album version.

A lot of other artists actually perform their songs live too.

Hope this helps.
