Tom Waits/CO,USA 1975

This is a precious live recording from the early period when they were called the Drunken Angels. This show at Ebbets Field in Denver on February 19, 1975 was recorded in official quality and on a soundboard from the broadcast master source, and it is a live performance just as you would imagine it at the time, with their distinctive husky voice, jazzy piano playing, unique lyrics sung over poetry readings, and a light-hearted way of speaking. There are only a limited number of live recordings from their early club gigs, and this is a must-listen for fans, as it was released after the release of their second album, Saturday Night, and includes the title track from that album, several other songs, and a cover of the Eagles song, Ol’55. 01. Introduction/02. On A Foggy Night/03. Eggs And Sausage/04. Ice Cream Man/05. San Diego Serenade/06. Big Joe & Phantom 309/07. New Coat Of Paint/08. Spare Parts/09. Ol’ 55/10.
