Post Description

Romeo Bleeding: Live from Austin is a better document of this period than it has any right to be. It begins with Waits chain-smoking behind a pair of Union 76 gas pumps, while a lone trumpet sounds the lonely notes of “Burma Shave.” 
From there, Waits is usually behind the piano, croaking his way through the seedy backstreets of songs like “Romeo Is Bleeding” and “Christmas Cards From A Hooker In Minneapolis” (with a refrain of “Silent Night” thrown into the mix for good measure). 
There are concerts, and there are concerts. But there are precious few artists that place you directly into the lives of the characters behind the stories they tell the way that Tom Waits does. As an artist, Waits has long since gone way beyond the skid row persona of his Small Change years. The audio and the video on this DVD — all things considered — are both surprisingly excellent.
