Download it while you still can. I don’t know how long it will be available.
Thanks for this. I woke up on Tuesday morning with Hoist that Rag playing in my head and a smile on my face that won’t go away. I was so excited about seeing Mr Waits that I was sure I was going to be disappointed. How wrong can a fat bloke be? I can’t find thw words to describe how good it was. I keep remembering little bits like Tom Trauberts Blues and Shoot the Moon. I’m sure I’ll remember all of it eventually. Till then I’ll just wander round with this silly smile. God Bless You Mr Waits - and your band.
Hi, thank you for this. I haven’t seen Tom Waits for 17 years and this is a fine consolation!
