Performance Notes:
I had a difficult time writing a review of this concert as I was listening to it because I was simply laughing too hard. While many performers have a hard time with the Storytellers format, Tom really flourishes, making the most of each opportunity to tell one of his hilarious stories that sometimes have a little to do with the lyrics and sometimes nothing at all. Mule Variations is one of my favorite Waits albums, and my three favorite songs on it are included here. The version of Tom in his 1999 voice performing Ol' 55 (and the hilarious story that preceeds it) is priceless. The band is excellent, the arrangements are tasteful and interesting, and the vocals are simply perfect. I won't spoil it any more for those who have yet to hear this, but I will say that it should be one of the first Waits bootlegs you should have in your collection

Notes:
These are the tracks recorded by Waits and given to Germany's Thalia Theatre for their production of The Black Rider.  Wonderfully raw and spirited, with many tracks that were never released on his cleaned-up album 'The Black Rider', this is a must-have for Waits fans.

Originally CD-R traded on the Rain Dogs imprint

Recorded at Media Sound, New York, December 14, 1976.

From the text on the front insert:
"This was a show that I recorded with Tom in December of 1976 that was originally broadcast on WNEW during my first sojourn at the station. I played this one-hour rare tape tonight as my contribution to the station's "From The Archives Weekend." Tom and I, and drummer Ralph Ebler, taped this at a recording studio in town - Tom at the piano, Ralph on snare drum and hi-hat; it was unrehearsed, unscripted and totally cool! This is the first time the show has been aired in its entirety since the original broadcast almost 20 years ago." - Vin Scelsa

I'm listing this as an FM recording, because I don't know for sure that it isn't; there is no 19 KHz pilot tone on it to identify it as an FM recording. The original files ran at the wrong speed, and there was a pretty serious channel imbalance. I corrected the pitch to A=440, matched the levels and ran phase correction on the whole program, then resplit the tracks and converted to FLAC.
