tom waits /// live in paris 1979

In 1979, Tom Waits performed in the land of striped shirts, cheese, and labor strikes--France. The performance took place at Theatre le Palace. I think that's French for the Palace Theater. Footage from that night has been divinely resurrected from the archives courtesy of the Tom Waits official webpage.
