I saw him back in 1979 in an old movie theater in Cambridge MA. Quite a performer.
I believe we were at the same concert. When Tom Waits is good, he’s awesome.
Performer is the correct term with Tom Waits. Tom does’t “Sing” sing, he ‘performs’ a monolog with musical accompaniment. I’m usually not ready for his gut wrenching delivery, but it has it’s place.
Maybe the same tour. Saw him a Leon Redbone at the Beacon in NYC. I was, in the literal sense, entertained by both.

I was there at that show! Next door to the Harvard Coop.
