Location: NJ | I saw tiny tim at the steele pier in atlantic city some time in the early 70's. he actually had a really good voice and was into old tunes from the late 1800's early 1900's the falsetto was his gimmick. |

Location: Chicago | TT's most unendurable moment, for me, is his spot at the Isle of Wight festival. ELP, Joni Mitchell, Moody Blues, the Doors, Free, Hendrix, Who......and Tiny f***in' Tim. RIP bro: you were a global phenomenon. |

Yeah, I never saw him live or gave him any thought whatsoever but I heard a recording once of him doing some really old style music quite well which interested me. I can't remember the song but I came away with the impression that the freak show was just a gimmick. |

| I only heard the one song from this guy that was on the radio - never actually saw him before or heard anything else by him - this music is very powerful IMO
