:shock:
Nicely done review, but I'm still half-shocked to learn that Tom Waits was on The Dinah Shore Show. I remember that when I was a kid, my grandmother used to watch The Dinah Shore show. And my hazy recollection (I was about five or six when I watched it with her and it's been 30 years) is that it was a pretty 'square' show.


Yeah, I'm not sure how it was I watched it. I had not heard of Tom Waits. I have researched: the show was aired on February 3, 1976. He sang Warm Beer and Cold Women and sat on the couch to converse w/Dinah and guests, chainsmoking all the while. I had never seen or heard anyone like him and was quite fascinated by his music and his persona. I placed an order for his double lp Nighthawks at the Diner and my Tom Waits' fandom began.

Bowie's Dinah Shore show spot is quite famous and widely bootlegged.

Well, then, it will surprise you to learn that the two episodes of the Dinah Shore show which I can recall from the 70s (days I bagged college and stayed in my room smoking hash instead) were one with Johnny Winter and Muddy Waters performing "The Blues Had A Baby (and They Named It Rock & Roll)" -- and another one with David Bowie and Iggy Pop!

So, yeah, Dinah WAS pretty square, but open-minded, and she evidently had someone REALLY cool on her staff handling the booking.

Yeah, but Monica was probably drunk that night and went home early.

GREAT review, Esther! It was worth waiting and whining for. That setlist is just amazing, and I bet the stuff from Real Gone is amazing live. The details you included put me there for a moment, and I thank you for that.

I could really understand the part of your post about not relaxing until you had the tickets in hand - one of my buddies got online and had two tickets to the Asheville NC show in his sights, but when he clicked "buy" and put his CC info in, he was refused because he was from outside the Asheville area.

THEN he told me he was going to give ME the second ticket!

I would've had a REALLY hard time with that - I wouldn't have wanted to go without my Sweetheart...but turning down a Tom Waits show would've turned me inside out. So I'm glad I didn't have that decision to make.

Both of the Tom Waits shows I saw were in NYC - at the Eugene O'Neill Theater, and the Beacon. So I am also praying (as fervently as an agnostic can!) for a New York show.

yeah! sounds like an awesome show! come on Tom, play in NY! hehe.

How was "Singapore" live? that's one of my favorites from him.

Esther, sounds like a great show - what a set list!!

He added a surpise midnight show in Cleveland last Sunday night, so perhaps more are on the way. If so, do what you can to be there!!

I meant to give this link for an excellent, lengthy review of the Asheville show/interview w/Tom's tour manager: http://harpmagazine.com/reviews/concert ... icle=10384
