I've taken seven years of Spanish one, so I'm no dummy.
I gathered the following from the great review posted here.

"Tom Waits en estado puro"

This is local vernacular for, 'TOM WAITS ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!"

also

"¿Es Tom Waits Dios?"

Is Tom Waits God?

After Rain dogs, Swordfishtrombones and Alice. I find no fault with this statement.

finally

A renglón seguido, en uno de los momentos más esperados de la noche, otro anticlímax: el tipo se pone a tocar 'Innocent when you dream' y le pide al gentío que le acompañe. La respuesta del público es, cuanto menos, extraña. Cuanto más, ridícula.

TO the first row in one of the more hopeful moments of the night, another anticlimax. The dude p layed, 'Innocent when you dream' and the crowd sang along. Tom then said this show would be better than the Dublin show. As the Knoxville show was. Also that dublin will be where he unveils his versions of 'Row Row your boat" and "Michael Row the boat ashore"

But again, I took spanish for seven years, so I might have missed some things.

Seems to me that the fellow who wrote the review was disappointed with Mr. Waits because he wasn't singing or playing as in the records. I'd recommend that the reporter would go and see Mr. Waits' albums playing, not Mr. Waits himself.
(what's the surprise??? Waits has been reinventing his songs live since he started his career)
Seems to my like a ticket misused..

Hello, the review posted is completely irrelevant, the "reporter" has no idea of what he is talking about.
The barcelona concert was the best thing I have seen live.
Thank god that I am going to Milan as well to see him once more...

hi henk,

this is the setlist for the first night in barcelona (14 july).

I'll try to send you yesterday's setlist later

yesterday he did a much, much, much better show

first night in barcelona was a very good gig, but it was weak for tom waits' standards
