I had the insanely good fortune to be able to attend the Tom Waits show at the beautiful Orpheum Theater in Memphis on August 4, 2006. My wife and some good friends of ours were there as well. Tom put on an amazing show (no surprise there) and I took notes on the set list just for you, you poor unfortunates who weren’t lucky enough to be there. So here you go:
- Singapore
- Make It Rain
- Hoist That Rag
- Shore Leave
- Ain’t Going to the Well
- Yesterday’s Here
- God’s Away On Business
- ‘Til The Money Runs Out
- 2.19 (My Baby’s Leaving on the)
- Dead & Lovely
- Tango ‘Til They’re Sore
- The House Where Nobody Lives
- The Ocean Doesn’t Want Me Today…
- Invitation To The Blues
- Whistling Past The Graveyard
- Heartattack & Vine
- Shake It
- It Rains On Me
- Lie To Me, Baby, Move On
- Circus
- Trampled Rose
- Get Behind The Mule
- Murder In The Red Barn
- Goin’ Out West
- Encore
- The Day After Tomorrow
- Sins Of The Father
Italics mark songs I’m not 100% sure on.
More details on the delightful Waitsian banter will be forthcoming.
