I believe it was in 1974 that I saw Tom Waits open for Marty Mull and His Fabulous Furniture at The Troubadour in L.A. Halfway through his set, Waits reached inside his sport coat, pulled out an open beer, took a swig, then turned to the audience and said in his gravelly Waits voice, ”came with the coat”. During his set, Mull pulled out a vibrator and started playing slide guitar with it. Then he turned it on, went into “Purple Haze”, and exclaimed “so that’s how Hendrix did it”!
