NPR's All Songs Considered is streaming the July 5 Tom Waits concert at Atlanta's Fox Theater. I'm listening right now, and it sounds great. 2 hr, 21 min, 41 sec.
The oldest songs in the set list are "'Til the Money Runs Out" and "On the Nickel" off 1980's Heartattack and Vine. Why's he gotta hate his 70s material so much? I mean, this is a fantastic set—don't get me wrong. Depending how you count, dude's released somewhere between 18-20 studio albums. Why's he gotta completely neglect the first six?
