Tom waits has been a very influential artist to many other more famous musicians around the globe. He has many many albums and each one of them is diverse in everyway, I think that is why he has passed the test of time and is still creating innovative work to this day. Songs written by Tom Waits include Downtown train later covered by Rod Stewart, He has appeared in films and television as an actor including moulin rouge where he sings 'roxanne'. The Big Time Album is one of the rarer and part of only a few live albums, it is mainly songs from the rain dogs era. Alternative to the extreme but certain songs capture his emotion where studio recordings can't. His version of Clap Hands on this particular album is out of this world and sends a chill down my spine everytime I listen to it. Tom Waits is a genius and if you don't own any of his albums then may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits. BUY IT!Read full review
Waits performance, as usual is nothing short of excellent. It gets 4 stars instead of 5 because the cd booklet is pathetic, not even a little photo, or background about the tour! However you gotta buy cds primarily for the music and this will not disappoint. "Down in the hole", "Strange wheather" and "Telephone call from Istambul" are brilliant.
