Tom Waits!
We saw Tom Waits in Jacksonville yesterday and he was great! His voice is so powerful and his band sounds really tight - don't think there was a single note out of place all night. One guy in his band is like a one man orchestra... we saw him play at various times a guitar, harmonica, three types of sax and possibly a clarinet/oboe. At one point I'm fairly certain he was playing two sax's at once. I didn't even know that was possible. At any rate... below is the set list followed by some videos for those of you not familiar with Tom Waits.
Next is a version of Chocolate Jesus off of "Mule Variations." This video is from the David Letterman show. Lyrics are hilarious.
Next we've got Make It Rain off of "Real Gone" from another Letterman show. This is one of my favorite Tom Waits songs and it was probably my favorite from the show.
And finally a video from this tour of Lucinda/Ain't Going Down The Well (both off of Orphans - which I'm a huge fan of). This is exactly what we saw last night. Amazing...
