TOM WAITS - Barfly On The Wall: TV Performances - 1983-2015

TOM WAITS

Barfly On The Wall 1983-2015
Various Television Broadcasts
(2018 version)

"This is a Norwegian compilation by The Bergen Boys. Thank you very much to Berge And Øystein for bring so kind as to share this compilation with us. Their first Barfly On The Wall version is from 2015 it sounded like a tight gig.The artwork is hilarious. Quality - A+"  the above from the uploader's notes.

The Basement67 says "It features twelve Letterman performances from 1983 to 2015, plus one apiece from Fallon, Leno, O'Brien, Stewart and the Arsenio show.
Sound quality is superb, this is a fantastic boot and absolutely essential for any Tom Waits fan. 
If you're not, download it for the future before it inevitably gets butchered as and the audio or video performances appear on official releases. 
I have three tracks included on the Forgotten Orphans series Volume 5, Chicago, Chocolate Jesus and Raised Right Men. I also had five earmarked for a proposed Volume 6 of the Forgotten Orphans series. There are nine tracks new to me here and seriously this collection would make a worthy Volume 6 in its own right, with a little editing and tidy up."

Bootlegs of the Year 2015-2022

7th Edition including 2022

 


This document was first compiled in 2015 after receiving numerous emails, enquiring as to where bootlegs #1-100 posted on site, could be found. (many of the links were lost in 2016, see Downloads box on top right-hand side panel). 
 
This is the latest, the seventh edition of 'Bootlegs of the Year'. It incorporates a further fifty-eight boots downloaded during the last twenty-four months.
 
This edition now includes 332 bootlegs, the best I have downloaded since 2015. The 178-page book will point you in the right direction, in finding the sites I have used and most importantly the web addresses where they can be located. 
Although it concentrates on the best bootlegs I have downloaded in the last eight years, the same websites and addresses noted in the book are where the majority of the bootlegs in the 100 Greatest listing, originated from. The posts #1 to #100 were mostly made from downloads prior to 2015. 
 
To sum up, it includes the best bootlegs I have downloaded in the preceding years, 2015 to 2022. Having discarded numerous titles, these are the best from that time frame.

I have not provided a sound quality rating as virtually all are of sufficient high quality to rate around 5 out of 5, some are worthy of 5+ like the best official releases.

As you can imagine, it took some time and effort to pull this all together. What to include and just as importantly what to leave out, has taken considerable thought and listening hours, enjoyable nonetheless. So if you are a fan of any of the artists featured, then I can confidently state that you will definitely enjoy the bootlegs that have been chosen.

      SHACK - BBC session 2024

      Happy New Year everyone!

      It was a bit of a shock to hear about this, just one hour into the programme via social media.
      Like many I thought with Mick Head's new band, the Red Elastic Band currently touring, that Shack were gone for good.
      It's not a repeat of a previous session but brand new in 2024!
      The interview explains the ins and outs of this promotional appearance.

      BBC6 Music - Riley & Coe

      Marc Riley and Gideon Coe come together to play their music loves from every era and genre.
      The boys welcome Shack live in session.

      Shack - Soldier Man (6 Music Session, 18 Dec 2024)
      Shack - Undecided (6 Music Session, 18 Dec 2024)
