Tom Waits - Rockpalast 1977 02 Invitation To The Blues

Mar 9, 2009 - One of Tom Waits best songs, this song touches my heart, every time I listen to it. He paints life with his words, and makes it so melancholical, you just feel it deep into your soul.

Mar 13, 2009 - Just The Boss, period. His performance of this and Tom Traubert's Blues are 2 of the greatest in the history of popular music, bar none. In any other world he would be considered one of the greatest artists that ever lived but those of us who love him don't care so what he hell..........

Mar 19, 2009 - I completely agree. I only got into Waits 6 months ago and now I'm obsessed! He is amazing!

Mar 23, 2009 - I know what you mean. I love the man and the work he does(I got into him about a month ago and now I can't stop listening to him) but I let one of my friends hear step right up and he said the drummer must be bored cause he's just doing the same beat, same with the saxophonist.

Yes, he's pretending in that I do not think he acts exactly like that when he's at home with his wife and kids, but he is not claiming that this is his true character; he's just performing.

May 28, 2009 - That's exactly what I'm taking about: he's a showman and a businessman. But for exactly that reason I can only take whaterver he does with a grain of salt. He's putting on an act and there's no secret about that, but I can never believe his songs and performance like I can believe Leadbelly's singing and know everything he sings about he is living. This performance by Tom is outright horrible clowning though but he's down for that too.

Jul 12, 2009 - There is, yes, another song called "Invitation to the Blues" but it's an entirely different song. And this video in particular is a medley of some of his songs, it just happens to start off with a part of "Invitation to the Blues."

Nov 22, 2009 - He looks very German, Russian, and irish in this video. The hat also has a Fidel Castro or British orphan farmer boy vibe to it. I love Tom..
