Here are all of Tom Waits' Letterman appearances.
The Bird Network Years:
1. December 21, 1983. Tom performs "Frank's Wild Years," chats with Dave, then performs another song, "The Nickel."
2. February 6, 1986. "Tango Til They're Sore," chat, and "Time."
3. October 16, 1987. Chat, then "More Than Rain."
4. October 5, 1988. "Straight to the Top" and chat.
Late Show:
5. September 27, 1999. "Chocolate Jesus" and chat.
6. May 8, 2002. "All the World Is Green" and chat.
7. September 28, 2004. Chat, then "Make It Rain."
8. November 27, 2006. Chat, then "Lie to Me."
9. July 9, 2012. Chat, then "Chicago."
10. May 14, 2015. Chat, then "Take One Last Look at the Place That You Are Leaving."
Note: The graphic card date that had Tom' first LNwDL appearance as "February 21, 1983," is incorrect; that was actually the date when Sly Stone appeared on the show. The date as I have above, December 21, 1983, was Tom's debut appearance. Notice the Christmas decorations in the studio.
What probably happened was that someone wrote down "12-21-83," but the person who typed in the date didn't see the "1" in front of the "2," thus the month February ("2") instead of December ("12").

Tom waits, Bob Dylan, Leonardo cohen are all up the league in poetic song writing, but what sets Tom apart from the rest is the emotional dimension that he radiates through his voice, performance and perpetual creativity. What a legend!

The first few times he's shy, but then he quickly decides that each time he comes back he's gonna have a bogus story ready to go.

Tom Waits has the best sense of humour. Not only a brilliant singer, musician, poet, storyteller, actor but also comedian. Legend!

Letterman is the only person who can ACTUALLY interview Tom.

Lots of mutual respect between Waits and Letterman.Letterman seems to appreciate and understand Waits and his genius.

Tom Waits is so refreshingly out of his mind! He has always been one of my all time favorites! A true original American out of his flipping mind musical and creative genius.

"Frank came to me in a dream... We spoke, well, of many things..." Audience cracks up and Tom looks at them like "did I say something funny?" Love that moment.

True art comes from people who’ve lived in cars. That’s Soal baby.

Tom Waits is like a tourniquet after a bear attack. You only know you need him when it’s perfectly necessary.

I love that Dave seems to genuinely like Tom, and treats him with a lot of respect.

I am impressed with his speech. He speaks so well; simple, direct, and eloquent. Nothing in his converstion is extravagant, every word tells, exactly what he wants to say. You can tell he is highly intelligent. Just an exceptional talent. I hope one I can speak this way.
