Tom Waits/MO,USA 1979 Soundboard Edition

A nearly complete recording of a live performance at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City on October 8th, 1979, from the North American tour, using soundboard recordings from a recently unearthed radio on-air master. First of all, it is a live performance in a band style, which is a transitional period from the previous piano-centered singing and playing style performances, and therefore mainly includes songs from the album “Blue Valentine” at the time, when the guitar sound was innovative. In addition to his representative songs from the past, jazz standards such as “Starlight Stella” and “Summertime” are also woven in, making this an official quality live recording of the heyday when his unique style was truly established.
