Tom Waits performs "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag", a 1965 James Brown classic, live in 1987

A rare Tom Waits version of the 1965 James Brown soul classic “Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag.” Less a cover of the original Brown penned masterpiece than an ingenious and maniacal reinterpretation recorded live in 1987 at Massey Hall in Toronto Canada during the “Frank‘s Wild Years” tour.

On stage that night:
Tom Waits on vocals, piano, bullhorn
Marc Ribot: guitars, banjos, trumpet,
Willy Schwarz (introduced as Willie 'the squeeze') on accordion, organ, keyboards,
Ralph Carney: saxophones, clarinet, bass clarinet, marimba, violin, baritone horn, harmonica,
Greg Cohen: upright/ electric bass, box electric and Michael Blair on drums & percussion.
