Notes:
SHN > FLAC Conversion by Stephen Pickett

This show is two hours of pure gravel-throated bliss. Tom begins the
show during "Step Right Up" by asking the audience how much they
paid to get in. He then promises them that they will not be
disappointed....a promise to which he makes good. Though there are
other versions of the song that rank with this one, it's certainly worth
mentioning in the running as definitive. And that's only the beginning.
The following medley with Tom solo on the piano from track 3 to track
7, contains a beautiful "Sight for Sore Eyes" that is one of the great
moments chronicled in Tom's live shows. In fact much of this show
features Waits sitting alone at the piano, crooning as the audience sits
spellbound by his emotive performance. Tom's voice sounds
consistently dynamic throughout the evening, switching easily between
a deep growl and a soft high-pitched howl. The backing band plays it
fairly conservative, though they do get rowdy a few times. For the most
part, this one plays like an intimate evening between Tom and his
audience more than a showcase of the a band. There is a great deal
of crowd interaction on this one, including a short Q&A segment near
the end. The sound is excellent as well, with some signature 1970's
tape hiss, but overall very clean. This show is simply essential for
Waits fans.
