Bon Jovi covering Tom Waits
 

Since I am a big fan of Tom Waits, I was rather happy to discover that apart from Jersey Girl, which has been covered by Jon and the band some times (e.g youtube.com/watch?v=Bu-0DXiFb_c), the band has covered a fairly unknown song of Tom Waits, called San Diego Serenade. In the beginning of this concert:




It's a long shot, not necessarily worth a thread but it seemed interesting to turn it into one. If you know of other Tom Waits covers by BJ, post please.

The biggest one I can think of is Jon covering I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You on Ally McBeal.

Jon has mentioned Tom Waits as a major influence several times. Thanks for the link!

If only there was a thread for YouTube videos......

So the video is down and I don't even remember which concert it was where they played San Diego Serenade. I have the feeling however that it was from the KTF era, but I might be wrong.. Maybe Crush-era?

Anyhow steel_horse dude, this is not a youtube thread, this is a thread detailing performances of Tom Waits songs by Bon Jovi.

And to this end we already mentioned

Jersey Girl
San Diego Serenade (which I need to re-find)
I Hope That I don't Fall In Love With You (thanx captain, didn't know about that)


And there is one more which I didn't mention before, though it is a highlight :

Tom Traubert's Blues (a.k.a Waltzing Matilda)

sung by Tico.


If anybody knows of other Tom Waits songs performed by Bon Jovi, let us know as well. Thanks!

Jon also sang that, at least partially:

All right thanx much I had not seen that !

I found where the San Diego Serenade was played in this site
