Tom Waits - Live at the Cirkus 1999


Uncle Vernon was named after the Tom Waits "Cemetery Polka" from the Raindogs album. We knew we wanted him to have a Tom Waits name, but Buzz Fledderjon, Alice and Edna Vincent just didn't seem to fit. Plus, Uncle Vernon is really, really cute. Unfortunately, and we didn't know this at the time, "Uncle Vernon" is also the first character we meet in the Harry Potter series. This is definitely not what we were going for. I mean, does the Harry Potter series even come close to Tom Waits? I think not.

I have for you one of my favorite Tom Waits bootlegs from 1999. This is also considered to be the best sounding bootleg from that tour. The concert was recorded at a venue called the "Cirkus" in Stockholm. The sound quality is excellent and the set list is top notch. I've uploaded this large concert in two files via megaupload. unzip and enjoy.
