Various - Step Right Up (1995)

You guys own this ?
Which one is your favourite ?
I love the original Martha and I also love Tim Buckley’s version.

So did Tom Waits ever forgive John Lurie after that episode of "Fishing With John"?

Tom Waits - Going Out West VC

No hairs on my chest though :(

But damn I can really keep my composure in a high speed chase (probably not)

It's interesting how different these two are, yet I feel like they should be listened together, they feel like companion pieces to me.

Just noticed that Tom seems to love the key of Eb major.

A lot of his songs, particularly the piano ballads, are in that key:

- Rosie

- Martha

- Downtown Train

- Who Are You

- A Little Rain

- Whistle Down the Wind

- The House Where Nobody Lives

- Picture in a Frame

- Come on Up to the House

- Coney Island Baby (although it changes keys to F hallway through)

- Lullaby

- Woe

- A bunch of songs on Bawlers (Never Let Go, Goodnight Irene, Down There by the Train, etc)

Real Gone doesn't have any, because, no piano. I dont think Bad as Me does either, although there is piano there.

Tom Waits - Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Complete Concert HD

This got released in full for the first time recently in 15 years! Finally we can now watch the whole concert! I really love this. The first 3 songs were released on a blu ray in 2018, then the final song Get Behind The Mule was released onto the Rock Hall of Fame Youtube channel. Several months ago I managed to contact a guy who works at the Rock hall of fame and ask him to release it and he said he would look into it, and then it showed up on the youtube channel!
I had to work on the audio quite a bit, it needed quite a bit of mastering. Professionally filmed Tom Waits concerts are very rare especially from his later career (1999 to present).
