This clip actually brings me to tears... each and every take of Burma Shave I've seen and heard has its life of its own. This, however, is the best ever - to me, at least.

No problems with understanding that at all, he manages to make my tears flow, pouring from the eyes but starting from the core of my soul and travelling through the bottom of my heart, he's so full of plain human beauty and the best of real creativity squeezed out of a living, absorbing mind...and besides that, he's funny as hell. Yeah, I love him too. How can one not.

Amen to that!! The fact that it's actually Flo & Eddie interviewing him is cool, but so very secondary when he starts working on the piano, let the words flow, make the air in the room move and lets his soul out. To have things like this on DVD... Anyway, it's a fantastic version, how can one not cry? I'm into tears myself. There's music and there's music. Wow.

He truly is. He's so unapologetically eccentric and bears so much soul in his performances. I'll have to look up those tracks! My favorite performance of his is a live version of "Christmas Card" from the Austin City Limits record back in '78. It's so raw and pure.

Tom made a movie years ago with Iggy Pop - an independent or "indie" type of film - I still haven't seen it but I imagine it's worth a watch - I'm not sure of the title I would have to research it but I just wanted to let you know that there was a film out there that is relatively unknown to most folks aside from some of his fans

the most beautyfull performance of a song that i do love... burma shave, despite of alchool, the music and liric are great and.. i'm italian, don't know so much words in english.. e' grande, sentita, profonda, un richiamo profondo come una vertigine, la paura e la voglia di cadere, le due sensazioni insieme. e' quello che ci fa vivere, e ci trascina allo stesso tempo

"Despite of alcohol"? Surely something got lost in your translation there my Italian friend. The idea of Tom Waits in a world without bars during the early years of his career is tragic. That doesn't mean he couldn't quit later in his life to stay healthy, but saying he was good "despite" drinking is like saying Bob Marley was rastafarian "despite" ganja...

This video is missing the charming beginning where the camera is outside and inside...showing Tom's Cadddy with four flats, and then klnocking on his door, while the inside camera shows Tom armed with a toilet plunger ready to do battle with whoever's at the door....

I have no idea what the connection was with the CBC. I imagine it is the same Flo & Eddie show you know. I hadn't heard of their show before until I caught this on a retrospective of CBC shows for some anniversary. I guess it was a big hit in their line-up back in the 70's. I'm glad they chose this episode to re-air.

MIght be some flanging due to the video sound being uneven. Otherwise, it's the sound bouncing around in the upright. INteresting to hear the final version, which has much more development in the piano lines...this piano here is so repetitive, that one should be able to just sit down and find this notes.
