Tom Waits at Theatre le Palace 1979 part1

Tom Waits performs at Theatre le Palace in Paris, France. It was recorded for French television and broadcast on the program "Palace One" in 1980. Part 1: "Heartattack and Vine" and "'Til the Money Runs Out."
I don't own this footage-I'm just sharing because I enjoy it.

Dear God. Can we just all agree that this Waits performance at Thatre le Palace is one of the greatest vocal performances ever? The guy is just magical, raw genius. And so many people say T. Waits can't sing!!! 8,000 views of this video - some of greatest art available anywhere, for free. Thanks Twoey2E. Top tier video AND visuals. Stunning.

[@opredeleno]

yes, we all agree! Me on behalf of humanity :-) (PS. also the glitter and doom live is epic)

[@swisa1120]

Been watching this for 11 years. What a great video.

[@Yantryman]

After 9 years of being fan of this coolest cat in a town, I need to say this is his coolest performance!

[@johnzenger7880]

Here we are 40 years later still yearning for an experience like Tom Waits live.

[@sstoys2]

he's the definition of cool

[@jamesbond89940]

Oh my god, has anyone seen anything cooler from 5:15 - 5:55??

[@TheDrunkmantis193]

only 9:46-10:20 )

[@71426cudaconvertible]

love it hes beyond coolest

[@agusfuentes5199]

Gracias por tanto tom

[@swisa1120]

greatest thing on youtube

[@andymouse]

wow !

[@LadyeXo]

@mooshashie I hear he's actually amazingly shy. That's another one of the reasons he won't talk about his family. I would LOVE to just sit and talk with him, but I'd be so anxious I'd die.

[@aramanon]

Ooh, screamin jay hawkins does a chilling cover of HAnV. Check that out too

[@陽地達也TatsuyaYouchi]

最高！

[@sugababesrule]

The king of cool

[@andymouse]

anybody got the lyrics for this please?

[@NotAFanAnymore]

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me Than a frontal lobotomy

[@thomasprzyrowski3811]

this is simply just cool,can you dig it ?#$%^&^%

[@EnglishFolker]

Along with Miles Davis............

[@andymouse]

what do you think botbagel

[@andymouse]

@KatieHippieWannaBe it don't get much better than this..hmmm...he's got something more than cool...don't no exactly what it is...but he has load's of it hehehehehe

[@magicmatt1969]

Tried many times to listen to this so called "Great". Truth is, he is terrible...

[@windyhead7960]

There is no truth. Everything is subjective, YOU don't like it, I do, simple as that.

[@voltron3000]

i love the part 4:20 when Tom goes: "WAHHH YAYAYAYA WAHHH WAHHH WA-WAAAHH!...... WAAAAHHH WAAAHHHHYAAYAYAYAHHA WAAA WUUAAAA!"

[@a.e.r.7745]

Always loved Tom Waits, am so glad there are 3 more of this series. Spectacular.

[@jfbrette400]

I was 20 years old, I was there and I still feel it today

[@opredeleno]

I envy you wholeheartedly. Must've been great to soak in the atmosphere.

[@opredelenooo]

It's 8 am Monday and already promising to be a dreadful week, but just for 10:21 minutes I feel like I'm having lots of fun in a bar and life doesn't suck.

[@davidbroussard2051]

Hm .just retire.

[@davidbroussard2051]

Thr name? Croat? Serbian? Cool.

[@floyd65]

In 100 years this will still be cool as fuck.

[@davidbroussard2051]

Ilove ur speech

[@bekaauvil7524]

One of the best performances by Tom I’ve seen so far! I just recently discovered him!

[@opredeleno]

I have a theory, one can never have a single favorite Tom Waits song. :-)

[@anononomous]

Remember kids, smoking isn't cool; Tom Waits is cool.

[@jamesbond89940]

That grouchy guitar on the Album I definitely prefer.. But hey I'm not bothered with an organ ey?

[@roberthermans6357]

Incredible! Who in France, 1979, would understand this music? And they broadcast this on tv? That's great! I mean, this was (an maybe still is) alternative music back then? Punk-Jazz??

[@Yantryman]

Since my last comment here, my wife stoled my kids, lost meaning of life, took a deep in alcohol and stayed there for some time...and now i am back here. Nothing changed, him still coolest cat, only now saving my life. I started writing...thank you Tom.

[@vtheb1299]

One of my favorite live Tom Waits shows ever. I like the sexy smirk on the host too.

[@ELGEvilLawnGnome]

@BudBusterbaby There will never be someone else with that much fucking class...

[@Russianprime]

Man, when he performed this, Heart attack and vine hadn't even come out. These are my favorite versions of these two songs. his face kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3iToWWAfcimh5I so good

[@gyudbal]

+Jebay McRickenz the way he starts the second song...

[@outlivedtint]

This man can single handedly beat every potential anti smoking point ever made by making it look THAT cool.

[@stephaniesaysstfu]

because different people like different stuff, it's all good though! personally, I'm a fan of both. I dig Tom Waits a hell of a lot more than Lady Gaga - and I'd pay hundreds to see him but definitely not even $60 to see her, but I enjoy her for what she is. no need to compare/contrast... just dig whatcha' dig.

[@sivartpoker]

the way he lights his cigarrete in the intro of "till the money runs out" is really cool

[@DirkjeA]

This is Tom Waits as I like him, he is just one of those old loves, you never forget the rest of your live. Thanks for the upload, made me a happy dutch lady

[@davidbroussard2051]

And ilove her

[@sambamachineryrecords6498]

WOW ... MTV MISSED FILMING HIM .... ???

[@zootchannel380]

OH MY GOD .................... KING TOM LIVE..........

[@swisa1120]

The amount of times I have watched it.

[@DirkjeA]

This man does not stop to amaze me. One of the greatest musicians and poets I have ever come across. He has a way of painting life, it hurts to the core of my body. One of the few artists that know how to touch my very soul.

[@conilmusician]

I love this. Thank you for uploading, Twoey.
