Highlight of the season so far, along with the Verdi.
Lisa Batiashvili was gob-smackingly brilliant.
The rest of it was 5 star stuff as well.
Phew

Beyond special.... Magnificent stuff

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N66HPoQBChk

That was proper greatness. Please come back with more shiny bargain for sell

Also needs to get rid of the drummer.

In fact I would give a kidney or something to see Big Black play that track.

I did :-)

In Newport.....

St Vincent. Again she fuckin shreds.
Face melting indeed..

Love Patti Smith ^^.
Played daily.

Here's a Kiwi classic from way back.
Best song that Sonic Youth never wrote...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASaUWQ7RjkU

Right indeed.

Here's a version to confuse the uwary searcher.
Better than the original too

imo

bah! posted the wrong one. that's the one i meant.

good call.

speaking of songs that have a minefield of different versions available for the unwary googler:

‪The Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane‬‏ - YouTube

best one right? right?

right.

Did you enjoy it? Sounded pretty good from where I was (I'm in the orchestra)

Still coming down....
Completely blown away. .As was everyone else I've spoken to since. A very special performance. I was about 5 from the front in the Arena. Perfect spot for the sound it turned out. In the orchestra, what do you play?

The Mahler was pretty damn good tonight as well.

Didn't go?

^^ You don't need to do that. Go for a Waitsian dance tune instead. Here goes:

Repped.

Love this. Jersey Girl (5:04 in) just too good. Don't know why anyone ever covers Tom Waits, except maybe St. Vincent, can't improve on perfection...

i'm just coming out of a massive tom waits bender that flavoured an entire 2 weeks in portugal (whilst reading the unauthorised barney hoskyns biog "low side of the road").

it was a funny experience. made me much more aware, and maybe more appreciative of the earlier stuff, but it somehow diminished a lot of the mystique around him too. not sure if that was as a result of reading about what a odd-cat he actually is in terms of constructing this persona, living in it to the extent of becoming it... then finding peace with his wife and reverting to merely playing the old character in public and feircely defending his (one imagines much more mundane) private life. you wonder why he feels the need to be so defensive, ornery and evasive all the time? he's an odd one alright. by the end of the book i just felt sorry for him.

i think that listening to so much of his stuff back to back had the result of revealing quite how similar so much of it is. for all of the length and depth of his catalogue you can't help noticing that he basically made the same record (albeit getting incresingly gruff with each iteration)from the early 70s to the mid 80s, then switched over from the jazznik crooner character to vaudeville freakshow "frank" character on swordfish (the formula perfected on raindogs) and has been releasing more of less the same record (again getting increasingly gruff with each iteration) ever since. bone machine gets a lot of love but i think mule variations is my favourite of the post raindogs bunch.

can't post no youtubes from work so you'll have to imagine singapore, shore leave, jockey full of bourbon, time, in the neighbourhood, heart of saturday night, big in japan, heartattack and vine take it with me when i go, tom traubert's blues, clap hands and ummmm i dunno, something weird like the eyeball kid or frank's wild years. i could pretty much forgive him anything for any one of those songs. and that there's *usually *a nugget or two of gold on each album means that all in all, i think i emerged from the waits bender a bigger fan than before.

shall be wearing my flashback "tom" t-shirt to do my gig tonight.
