  • I signed up youtube to write this:

    I saw him in Sydney in 1979 (or was it 80?). Best concert I've ever seen. Tom Traubert's Blue (this) was his encore, of course. He graveled... "Um..., er... I've um... y'know... I've kinda stolen your unofficial national anthem on this next one."

    *Wild applause*

    *A pause...*

    "I'll give it back when I'm done..."

    Thank you Tom. 

  • @Bartjebart2 You 'my friend' need to google 'Tom Traubert's Blues' and read Wikipedia.......We all know when the original was written [A.B. "Banjo" Paterson] but Tom Traubert's Blues is a completely different song that Tom Waits wrote and it only shares a similar chorus..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­­!!!!!!!

  • @calski2 I feel your...wistfulness.There must be a better word for that. Nice and touching comment.

  • I've played this countless times for my husband and, sadly, he doesn't get it. Not the sadness, not the passion, not the pain, not the musicality. Oh well. Maybe I'm just a drunk English major after all.........

  • Sensacional!!!

  • Tom Waits is like a bad car wreck. It aint pretty, sounds rough, but you cant look away or stop listening. People who dont like him just dont get what good music is.

  • I only knew one or two songs until a friend sent me Orphans. I was like, 'this is pretty good' but it wasn't until I saw this performance that I fell completely in love. It was at 4:00, when it seems that he has to shake the words out of himself. It gets me every time.

  • Tom Waits version rulz !

  • fucking legend,,,say no more...x

  • Tom Waits donne à ce chant du folklore australien une profondeur, une émotion et une intensité qu'il ne contient pas à l'origine. Rien n'est plus superbe !!!

  • Klingt als würde ihm das Erbrochene in der Kehle blubbern.

  • Saw Tom in Phila 1976 , At U of Penn.. Best Tom I've ever seen. Tom Thank's for being you!
