TOM WAITS
New York 1979 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Beacon Theatre, New York, NY; November 15, 1979. Very good mono soundboard.
Thanks to Nathan Detroit and to happyrudolf for sharing the show at Dime.
happyrudolf noted:
This is a mono soundboard tape and, as far as I know, the last recorded performance with the great Herbert Hardesty, who sadly passed away last December. I came across two versions, one that seems to be the original recording and the 2004 remaster by ‘Doctor Bob Gordon’. Both ran ca. 1,5% too slow. As the remasters suffers from a lot of noise reduction, I prefer the original. Unfortunately the last part of Romeo Is Bleeding and most of Trash Day are buried in digital clicks, so I used the remaster for those parts.
As a bonus I added Tom’s performance of Old Boyfriends in The Tom and Dick Smothers Brothers Special I, recorded in Los Angeles on October 11, 1980 (remastered by Nathan Detroit). Oddly enough, you can hear a bass player (which sounds like Greg Cohen to me), but you can’t see him during the TV performance. Anybody has an idea why’s that?
