Back some thirty years ago Waits had jazz greats like Jack Sheldon, Shelley Manne, Mike Melvoin, and Jim Hughart play on his albums.

Amazingly I got great tickets days after they went on sale, a far cry from scoring tickets to the Memphis show in '06 which sold out in something like under 7 minutes. The crowds for Waits are most amazing, and sometimes extremely boorish.

The Mobile show far exceeded my expectations in every way! I've been collecting live bootlegs for years and his voice in person does not even compare. His stage presence was amazing as well. Can't believe I get to go again tonight.
