“Good to be back in the land of wigs and novelties… Go ahead and laugh but when you need wigs and novelties, and you’re in Indiana, you can hang it up buddy.”
I have yet to see Stop Making Sense, but this is far and away the best concert film I have ever seen. It doesn’t get any cooler than this.
Tom Waits is my current white whale. If he ever has another show I will travel any distance. It’s been 17 years since his last tour. It doesn’t look great, but I nearly gave up hope on my last white whale. His farewell tour was only 7 years prior, but he had lost his hearing, and said that even if he wanted to, he probably could never play a show again. One scientific breakthrough later, and Paul Simon gives me a fist bump as he walks off stage at the Ryman. I hope to see you soon, Tom.
