Here's to hoping for an ugly bastard child of "Summerteeth".........
-Robert
I second that emotion!

You and I
We might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It's like we never met
You and I
I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something that no one else has but
You and I
You and I
And me and you
What can we do
When the words we use sometimes
get misconstrued
Well I won't guess
What's coming next
I can ever tell you the
Deepest well I've ever fallen in to
Oh, I don't wanna know
Oh, I don't wanna know
Oh, I don't need to know
Everything about you
Oh, I don't wanna know and you
Don't need to know
That much about me
You and I
We might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It's like we never met
You and I
I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something that no one else has but
You and I
You and I
You and I

Does anyone know the updated lyrics to this song?
The new lyrics come right after this part:
You know I won't be there for you,
So this is all I know is true,
Your darkest days are good for you,
The darkest night is nothing new
I can't understand what Jeff is saying. It's something like...
Seems like everyones got a problem
__________________________________?
She knows nothing __________ She played in gangster (clothes?)
Oh, I'm no answer to anyone else
Is my life a cancer for everyone else
If anyone knows and can help- It would be great!

Really, two new songs?

This is my favorite concert poster!

I wish you a wonderful Birthday, Jeff!

To me, I have a great record collection. It starts with Tom Waits' Rain Dogs, Heart of Saturday Night, Bone Machine etc. I also have Bowies' Ziggy Stardust, Diamond Dogs, Stones' Let it Bleed, Aerosmiths' Toys in the attic, I also own a ton of Dylans a couple Dr. Dog, Wilco, Queen and Neil Young vinyls!
-
Very tough, almost impossible... but I'll give it a try!
Rain Dogs
Bone Machine
Real Gone
I also cannot wait to see what's next! I know he will be recording his new album with British musician Tricky. I've listened to some of his work and ummm... let's just say this album should be quite interesting in a good way!

Happy Birthday Sue!! I wish you the best birthday ever!

Nowhere. Rittenhouse Square is in Center City, and street parking is really a crap shoot. Since the show will be in the evening, its going to be a mess, even driving through that part of the city sucks. There's always plenty of parking garages if you want to get fleeced. Where in Pennsylvania are you coming from? There are some options for taking trains into the city that would put you relatively close by, I think. Don't hold me to that. Google SEPTA and see what they can tell you about that, because that will be your best bet.
I was thinking this would be a problem. I am coming from the Lehigh Valley, it's about a 40-50 min drive south for me. I guess I don't have many options, do I? But I will check with SEPTA to see what they are are. Thank you for your help! And if you can help me out with any other info- I'd appreciate anything you can tell me. Thanks again.

Hey, is anyone going to Philly for the free Dr. Dog concert August 13th at Rittenhouse Square? Also, if anyone is from the area or knows the area, where is a good place to park that is close to the square?

It *was* a great set! The "Eyeball Kid" mime was brilliant. In the ATL podcast, you can here some guy shouting: "GO DEEP!" near the end.
There's a great You Tube video of what he's doing that was recorded at one of the Parisian shows

Yes, that version of "Eyeball Kid" is spectacular! I first heard it one the Pheonix recording!
I love the versions of "Till the money runs out" with the Howlin' Wolf cover. Also, "Black Market Baby", "Make it Rain" and "Lie to Me" are GREAT! Really though, I'm just in love with the entire set!
Sounds like a great show. Wish I could've gone to at least one! 
-
Downloaded it last night! It's an AWESOME set!!!!
-
Yes, that orange was quite familiar. The barrier in front of the stage formed a sort of table, though - good for resting drinks and a pre-show salmon burger. And Judy, I sensed you waving.
"Sunny Feeling" has been going through my head this morning. It is not sunny.
Does it sound like something that could've been on 'Summerteeth?'
I really hope we get to hear all three of these new songs soon!
-
Does anyone know anything more about this new song?

Tom Waits performs in front of sold-out crowd

Tom Waits put the "P" in "PEHDTSCHJMBA" on Tuesday night as he kicked off his Glitter and Doom Tour before a sold-out crowd at the Orpheum Theatre. It was the first Valley appearance in over 30 years from the eccentric singer-songwriter, who returns for a second show on Wednesday. And in case you were wondering, PEHDTSCHJMBA is an acronym of all the cities he is stopping at on this rare tour.
Waits, 58, even acknowledged how long it has been since his last visit, joking:
"Does Van Buren still have all those affordable hotels? That's the part of town I remember."
Otherwise he didn't dwell in the past too much during the two-hour show.
Describing the concert is difficult - the band, which included Waits' son Casey on drums, was loose and fluid while swapping instruments, handling the tricky time changes and even trickier stage cues from Waits.
But the center of attention was clearly Waits. Indeed at many points the show seemed less about the music than his outrageous acting. One of the most theatrical "singers" in rock music, he mugged and mimed his way through the songs, accentuating his tortured singing with the persona of a circus ringleader or a mad televangelist.
And with stage props. He performed much of the set standing on a wooden riser which was coated with some sort of powder. As he stomped his feet to the beat, clouds of dust would rise. During Eyeball Kid, from his 1999 comeback album The Mule Variations, he donned a bowler hat covered with mirrors, turning himself into a human disco ball. The stage set, a sort-of junkyard of antique loudspeakers, only accentuated the trash-can sound of the band and the apocalyptic feel of the show.
He also pushed his vocal cords to the limit, taking his voice from a whispered falsetto to a terrifying growl from one word to another. He even pulled out a bullhorn for his ode to the immaculate confection, Chocolate Jesus.
The bulk of the set was drawn from Waits' more recent albums, especially The Mule Variations. He did give longtime fans a special treat with mixed-up rearrangements of older songs, like the gospel rave-up Jesus Gonna Be Here, from the 1992 album Bone Machine, which was transformed into a funky shuffle, and Murder in the Red Barn, a blues number also from Bone Machine, that was given a jazzy twist.
The emotional highlight of the show, however, was when he dismissed the band and sat down at the piano for a handful of older tunes accompanied only by bassist Seth Ford Young. The mood turned conversational, with Waits joking with the hecklers in the crowd. His Bohemian-barfly persona returned as he delved deep into his catalog for such classics from the '70s as Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis and Invitation to the Blues. The mood was spoiled a little by a security guard, who was using his walkie-talkie during Christmas Card, but Waits quickly silenced him before leading the crowd in a singalong version of the stark, emotional Innocent When You Dream.
After the piano interlude ended, Waits strapped on a guitar for the rockabilly rave-up Lie to Me and the set closing stomper Make It Rain, from the 2004 album Real Gone.
He returned for a three-song encore that encapsulated the entire concert. Way Down in the Hole, from 1987's Frank's Wild Years, (and recently heard as the theme song for HBO's prison drama, The Wire) was performed as a full-fledged gospel rave-up. God's Away on Business, from the stage play soundtrack Blood Money was all German dancehall bluster, with Waits mugging and grinning through lyrics like "I'd sell your heart to the junkman baby for a buck, for a buck." And the tender ballad Time from Waits' 1985 masterpiece Rain Dogs, brought the show to an emotional close, with him coming as close to singing as he did at any point during the show, strumming gently on an acoustic guitar while crooning the chorus:
"It's time, time, time, that you love."
Odds are that Waits won't return to the Valley any time soon, so that echoing chorus will have to serve.
Unless you are lucky to have tickets for Wednesday's show.

The Biden/ Palin was brilliant and as usual Tina was great with her dead on impression! However, I laughed histerically at the Lawrence Welk skit. In fact, I haven't laughted that hard at an SNL skit in years, maybe since Tina, Horitio Sanz, Chris Parnell and Rachel Dratch left the show! I just loved it!
I wish Kristin Wiig would be in more skits!
