Tom Waits - The Documentary / Part 1

[@GrampaCramps]

I think a quote I saw some time that most perfectly encapsulates Tom Waits music was "Music of the Angels sung by the Devil." His grating voice is still somehow so mesmerizing to me.

[@STYNET]

My man likes the good music

[@BuzzcutGtr]

I just tell people it's the WAY he uses his voice to deliver his narrative. That's what I love about his voice. "Christmas Card..." or "Ruby's Arms" just wouldn't have the same emotional impact (IMO) if it were sung by Sebastian Bach or Geoff Tate, y'know?

Enjoyed part 1. Can’t wait for part 2👍🏻

Legend says that he’s still trying to work out part two

[@samdeakins7176]

Looking forward to part two, lovely work.

I was in high school 1970 yo 74. I think i was the only kid in HS who smoked hash under glass and listened to Tom Waits, Gil Scott Herron, john Mayall and Savoy Brown.

[@andreawagner7352]

Thank you for doing this !!! I love him dearly ...... Baby gotta hold on ...take a my hand ......

[@DJSahnik]

I can’t WAIT for part 2.

Shouldn’t be too long mate

[@quoth128]

no rush but i love this video and im excited for the subsequent parts. please take your time making them

[@dakotahrupp9128]

Just found this! Love it!

[@dirkbogarde44]

Saw Tom in concert at Hammersmith Odeon in 87 for the Big Time tour. Shame he only played the UK a few more times after. Probably won't see him on these shores again now.

[@derrenmarcusturner408]

Been 8 months where's our part 2 man 🤣 if not for us do it for you man c'mon

[@shannonbrooks5014]

You've introduced me to a very interesting man, writer and composer, and I can't thank you enough. I had heard the name before, but that's about it. I can't wait for your Part 2. I'm about to dive head first into what I believe will be, in the very least, an incredibly interesting musical journey for me, and hopefully, a new favorite. Thanks again, and keep up the good work man.

[@musicexperiments]

Where is part 2 ???????

[@brohamerer1604]

Waiting on part 2

[@angrymoose3383]

It’s really interesting to listen to Closing Time and realize this is the same guy who sang Hell Broke Luce

[@JordanHowmann]

ready for part 2

[@fematrailer]

So crazy to see this channel have 1 video with millions of views, 1 with 50k, and 1 with 20k, and the rest with more modest numbers. It's too bad, because these videos are very interesting, I hope more people come to recognize that. I think a lot of people came from the creepy KZbin fandom.

[@Tyrell_Corp2019]

FYI 5:01 is a shot of KATZ'S Deli in NYC. A must see for anyone visiting!

[@terri-b7492]

Quite simply Tom is an individual genius.No doubt you either love him or you do not,those who do the latter are missing out on a real genius

[@Riverherb]

You must really like Tom to go to the effort of researching such a cryptic man. Great video

[@STYNET]

I am very quickly running out of photos

[@Riverherb]

@@STYNET Just an observation but The majority of Tom Waits photos seem to be black and white. If you are really struggling u could just use the guy that played hell boy Ron Perlman lmao. They look pretty similar tbh.

[@DMRJ53]

@@Riverherb The photos are incredible .

[@TimHosper]

I saw Tom waits in 1978 at the Royal oak music theater

[@lcdubs7847]

It would be great to have a link to the other parts of this documentary.

[@capital7586]

PART 2!!!! Please!!!

[@idontknow-lc8bz]

Tom waits cannot be defined. I think he kind of "sold out" in the beginning of his career by creating this alcoholic persona so that he could later gain the freedom to do whatever he wanted. He is truly a poet and a musical virtuoso, and i love how he changed and got weirder over the years. He's an old soul, the type of person who gets better as he ages

[@BigDreamsSmallWalletRC]

I'm trying to understand how creating a alcoholic persona EQUALS = Gaining the freedom to do what he wants? can you maybe elaborate on how these two things have anything in common or leads to the other ?

[@idontknow-lc8bz]

@@BigDreamsSmallWalletRC hey sorry that was a bit vague. I believe he said in an interview somewhere that when he met his wife she encouraged him to be more of himself rather than the brand the record labels pushed on him.. but because he was a bit older when starting his career i think he maybe did it as a way to get exposure in the first place. Seems to me he struggled with not fitting in with the demands of the music industry at the time (rock & roll hype) so he might have compromised his persona to gain popularity

[@BuzzcutGtr]

It's excruciatingly hard to tell when Tom's being tongue-in-cheek from when he's being serious -- particularly when it comes to his private life. I just figure he's always being tongue-in-cheek.

[@rafaeleism]

Great. Congratulations for your good speaking

[@STYNET]

Many many thanks

[@danielle78730]

where's part two…? am i missing something?

[@Bill-cv1xu]

Well done...

[@GIBKEL]

Part 2 on its way?….. he always seems to come full circle. The Forever children who are always in the search of fixing what is broken.

[@SloopJohnBeeRockabilly]

Nighthawks is amazing and the most Kerouac influenced IMO. Watched other videos that diss the album. 🤷‍♂️

[@baxatakbaxatak2014]

Zevon, Zappa, Waits, and Ian Dury. One or two shows all sharing the stage. Either the best or worst idea ever, but certainly the weirdest. And tickets would FLY.

[@tommy-leehannan6290]
