This is so important, I had to cross-post it from The Barstool.
There is a lot of Tom Waits posted on YouTube, but in digging out that version of Eggs and Sausage (a wonderful unacompanied rap, rasped out at the counter of a near-deserted diner) I posted last week, I happened upon the truly wonderful kittykittylamb. She (?) has posted dozens of extended Tom Waits clips, including the whole of the TV concert programme, Soundstage, for which the Eggs and Sausage performance was just an introduction: 40 or 50 minutes of great music (in five segments) from Waits in his mid-70s husky balladeer phase. And there's much, much more besides. Do go and check out kitty's profile page for the full list.

This discovery could keep me happily occupied for weeks.
