  • Hey MFYF,

    The song is called Old '55. For a minute I thought it was another song about a gun or something ;)

    Anyway, no biggie. You're my hero for all the music you've provided. "Applause"

  • DOH !

    thanks for the heads-up ... i guess i just got in a bit of a rush when uploading .

    corrected .

    glad you dig the tunes !! more to come .

  • @MusicForYourFunk - You are awesome for uploading this song.

    (FYI - The abbreviation for Minnesota is MN not MI.)

    Anyways, thank you for posting this historic moment in Minneapolis music history. Have a good day.

  • @benjaminaaron87

    finally got around to correcting this.

  • That piano sounds amazing. The new electronic ones have nothing on the classic wood.

  • Hearing this version, now I'm glad the Eagles did their own version.

  • @Mercenariesofhonor Educate yourself on Tom Waits mate. You enjoy the Eagles version, which would never be without Tom Waits. The music industry, and artists all have high respect for him. It's fine if you don't like how he sings it, his voice is an accustomed taste for most, but there is more behind the way a person sings than just if he's hitting the right note smoothly or not. You prefer smooth and melodic, but just as you see the merits in that, as do we in this.

  • @seedofvision

    on his albums, the song is called Ol' 55, not OLD. MFYF is right.

  • I love Tom, but he is drunk as shit here.

  • @Mercenariesofhonor Agreed. Everytime I hear a version by Waits , it's weird and different. Frey and Henley did a beautiful job.

  • Is this a joke? Sounds like this guy has marbles in his mouth. Eagles really turned this song into something beautiful...cause good lord, this version is awful.

  • my death fantasy:I want this song played loud in the hearse and the procession to the cemetery to be at dawn.

    freeway cars and trucks,

    Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade

    Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,

    Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger..
