tom waits’ kcrw “snap” sessions, santa monica, 11.10.73

by gregor on November 25, 2011

top of the day after thanksgiving, or for those of you anywhere else, the day after a thursday. my thanksgiving was lovely and relaxing. we went to the wife’s new restaurant/hotel, the renaissance marriott in baton rouge. took some pics of the event with my new panasonic lx5, which is a super awesome camera, btw. thanks to my father for purchasing it for me. i had to sell my g12, which is also a great camera, and really sucked being without one.

woke up this morning with “san diego serenade” in my head and thus listened to it approx 20 times this morning. so i figured i would post a waits performance which has never graced this site. very interesting listen, as are most waits shows. the quality is good, not great, but the performances are spectacular.

1. pancho’s lament
2. friday’s blues
3. shiver me timbers
4. depot, depot
5. better off without a wife
6. fumblin with the blues
7. san diego serenade
8. semi suite
9. ice cream man
10. big joe and the phantom 309
11. the heart of saturday night
12. ol’ 55
13. virginia avenue
14. please call me baby
15. diamonds on my windshield
16. gettin drunk on the bottle
17. i hope i dont fall in love with you
18. rosie
19. tijuana

Happy Black Friday Captain!

I am thrilled to check out this 1973 Tom Waits performance, but I’m getting error message for several of the tracks:

10. Big Joe And The Phantom 309
11. Looking For The Heart Of Saturday Night
14. Please Call Me Baby
18. Rosie

I hope you are having a great Thanksgiving weekend. Please keep the wonderful music coming!
