Luckily, as things worked out I was able to road trip up & back with Victor, making the evening much more enjoyable and safer to boot. Victor was in the balcony - still with a good seat in the somewhat-intimate 2,000-seat Thomas Wolfe Auditorium - while I was lucky enough to snag a 6th-row floor seat. The show started a little late, but not as bad as Atlanta as they were able to get everybody in there more efficiently. Prior to the show we were at the Jack In The Wood restaurant grabbing a quick bite and a cold one. I had a Duvel in honor of the fact that the last Duvel I had was in the company of "Uncle John" van Tiel, a fellow Waits nut. When he & his band came out, the place went crazy as expected. It was the first time he'd ever played there, but there was no telling how many locals were there vs. people who traverse the globe to see him. Anyway, he broke out into a herky-jerky "Singapore", and we were off and running. I was amazed at his energy & focus. The acoustics were great, much better than Atlanta (according to Victor) so his voice was nice and clear. The again, can you really say that TOM WAITS was in good voice? I mean, most folks would say that his smoky, gravelly voice is miles away from "good" but I thought he sounded fabulous. And I was looking forward to his stage banter almost as much as his songs - he's a consummate performer and his unique sense of humor is as sharp as his lyrical talent. And I wasn't disappointed - he talked a lot - about the last time he was in Asheville doing summer stock with Gregory Peck in "The Music Man" & "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", about how the Japanese grow watermelons in square crates so they are easy to stack and can be sliced like bread, and about how it's getting harder to buy a bad cup of coffee these days so he had switched to instant, among other topics and assorted comments. Of course, no description of Waits' conversation can do it justice or compare in any way. And the songs...what an incredible setlist! Very different from Atlanta, and he took turns playing percussion, piano, and electric guitar. I about exploded when he broke into "Invitation To The Blues" (after dedicating it to his wife, saying it was her favorite song) - I didn't think he was reaching back that far. And he did two from my favorite album Blue Valentine, the title track (with superb soloing by guitarist Duke Robillard) and a re-arranged "Whistlin' Past The Graveyard". He rocked the joint with "Goin' Out West" (with son Casey pounding the hell out of the drums) and "Heartattack and Vine" and he also sang a new and beautiful love song that brought a little water to the eye called "You Can Never Hold Back Spring". This was part of his 3-song piano set which of course was extremely well-received. Another highlight for me (really the entire show was a highlight) was "What's He Building In There?" the inclusion of which really surprised me - - all the musicians behind him were making bizarre mechanical noises (like on the record) when all of a sudden something caused some feedback, to which Tom, not missing a beat said "And he's got SOUND problems"... There was also incredible use of lighting, sometimes basking him in color (a very effective blue tone when he was playing guitar and singing "Blue Valentines", a deep red for "Murder In The Red Barn" and fiery Orange and Yellows for other songs. Lighting from the floor cast a scarecrow-like silhouette onto the back curtain at times, also an awesome visual. And the band remained totally in synch, longtime bassist Larry Taylor providing solid bottom and percussionist Bent Clausen (the musical director for Woyzeck & Alice) hopping from instrument to instrument. I enjoyed his work on the vibes best of all. Tom was effectively able to engage the crowd without inciting a lot of shout-outs for requests, and for the most part the audience was great, quiet and attentive and letting Tom focus on the work at hand. I was hoping to hear his poignant Iraq-inspired song, "Day After Tomorrow" but alas it was not to be. But I've no complaints, this show was fulfilling in every way. I hope it's not another 30 years before I see him again.

I can imagine the place and the vibe of the place just by your description of the lighting, sound etc. Goosebumps for me. I echoed your sentiment that I hope I wont wait for 30 years to see him (for the first time, for me) in concert. But then it would still be interesting how much strong material he would have written in another 30 years and what he chooses to sing in concerts. Like RLJ and Joni, I feel as though I have known Tom Waits as a person. Plus, Tom Waits always have this continual and almost odd fascination with anything Filipino. Two references in "Foreign Affair" and another two in "Mule Variations" to name just two that come to mind. I arrived in Raleigh-Durham from a looong trip from Manila yesterday at 3pm and I had this adrenaline high to invite the friend who fetched me at the airport to go straight to Asheville and watch the concert. But as we were navigating the roads of North Carolina and deciding what route would be best, I called a friend to check the availability of tickets online and was told that the tickets apparently were sold out like hot cakes after the show was first announced. So I guess I will have to pay close attention to his tour schedule knowing how rare in itself that whole thing is. Oh and one more thing, the heat was unbearable yesterday and today. I thought the tropics is the place for this thing. Made me appreciate the monsoons and typhoons all of a sudden.

What I've read/hear on NY Times site and npr is the Press is 'speculating' about whether or not the Administration will take this opportunity (?) to invade Cuba. The answer I read was something akin to "Uh... nooooo, we have no intention of invading Cuba." The question was stranger than the answer that time. npr had a story this morning about the Kennedy Administration's plots, with help from the Mafia, to overthrow Cuba back in the sterile and goody-two-shoes early 60s.
