I saw the Tom Waits show last month in Birmingham and the night after that show, he performed in Atlanta. The set list was a bit longer in Atlanta. But, here you go, courtesy of NPR. The entire Atlanta concert. Nice recording.

If anybody knows how to convert this into a saveable file, that would be great.

the first line on the page you referenced said, "To download this show, sign up to receive the Live Concerts from All Songs Considered Podcast" (with a hotlink). I'm downloading it right now.

If you guys are into artistic interpretation, Scarlett Johansson released a CD of all remakes of Tom Waits songs....mind you, it is a bit different...I grew up listening to This Mortal Coil and Dead Can Dance, so, I can appreciate what she has done on this album...
I highly recommend it solely on its high grandeur alone.

I admire your honesty so start at the beginning..jkwest wrote:to be frankly honest...I have never heard of Tom Waits....
hows his Orphans Cd to start out?
"Closing Time"..about 1973 or so...
After that it gets good...and better.
Take your time but do it anyway
Respect,

Yeah, I'd recommend Closing Time or Heart of Saturday Night.
My wife and daughter are off at Grandma's for a few days, so I watched a couple of movies last night. One was Domino with Keira Knightley. Waits did some songs for it, possibly the soundtrack. But late in it he appears as some sort of religious guy in a really ethereal role that only he could pull off. The guy's a genius in many ways.

Closing time and Heart of Saturday Night are great albums but not really representative of what Waites has been doing for the past 20 years. His more recent stuff is more innovative and challenging. I love Mule Variations. Frank's Wild Years is a good album to get an idea his musical diversity.
For film buffs check out his performance in Down By Law.

Many thanks Dale, for letting us know this show was available on the NPR website.
For you Waits fans who would like a copy in MP3 format, there is an <A HREF="http://edpad.com/npr-mp3/">NPR MP3 Downloader</A> script for <A HREF="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... emonkey</A> that works very nicely.

Damn, Innocent when you Dream is a gorgeous song. A back issue of fRoots I was browsing in the bathroom the other day had an interview with with Shetland fiddler James Stout , who said, (I had to go and find it)
I bet Innocent when you Dream is the song he was thinking about."He's incredible because the first thing you hear is this gravel voice, and when you listen beyond that he's got incredible lyrics, and his slow melodies are just like hymn tunes. You could hear a choir singing his melodies in a church. When you hear that balance, somebody who has a rough edge to their voice juxtaposed with a melody that's angelic and church-like..."
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')
