Please turn up your speakers, as the audio is very low!

This is a very rare performance of the song Kentucky Avenue by Tom Waits.
According to db.etree.org (a bootleg database), Kentucky Avenue has been recorded in concert a total of only 3 times: Once on the BBC on July 26th, 1979 and then (for the last time) again on March 21st, 1981 in London.
This is one of my favorite songs and I feel it's one of Tom's most underrated songs.

Enjoy :)

  • The most amazing thing is hearing all those other songs in the beginning medley, all classic melodies, all his, and then this.

    God, I wish people never learned to whistle like that...noise making goons...

    Waits..the best thing that ever happened to american music in the last 40 years.

  • this song is killer it even makes the static video watchable

  • I saw Weather Report in this same venue one month before this show (Halloween night 1978) front row center. Great show, I wish I'd seen Tom there also.

  • @cbertish +1

  • Let's follow that fire truck

    I think your house is burning down

  • Back for a other moment of healing...
