Default 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!

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!
