Free Music Review: will you sell me one of those - if I shave my head?
Hit: 5 Stars

1. 16 Shells ... I never really cared for the studio version but this live take gives it a new sense of energy especially with Tom's howling at the end and the excellent guitar solo.

6. Yesterday Is Here ... A song I loved off of Frank's Wild Years and a song I was pleased to see included in this live album. One of Tom's most underated tunes in my opinion.

7. Way Down in the Hole ... You can't beat Tom getting religious.

8. Falling Down ... A non-live track which is a great extra. Totally Tom.

12. Train Song ... I believe this song could sum up Waits.

14. Ruby's Arms ... Big crowd favorite here. I believe it's just Waits and his piano. Truly beautiful.

15. Telephone Call from Istanbul ... Even though it does not have the organ solo like the studio version does, this live take is truly crazy and one helluva song to drive to when 3 a.m. rolls around.

16. Clap Hands ... Another song that was re-energized. I believe that's a toy ray gun I hear ... hmmm.

You could probably say something about every song on here but since there's a limit of words. I'd better stop now. Cheers to Tom Waits and his wife Kathleen Brennan - you are original and distinct. I can't wait 'til the two new Waits albums, Alice and Blood Money, are released in May. Thanks.
