Round Midnight: The Minneapolis Broadcast 1975 (2011)

"In October of '75 the delightful "Nighthawks At The Diner" was released; recorded live, but containing only new songs. In December, Tom entered the studios of KQRS Minneapolis for his first éver FM broadcast syndicated by many, nationwide. Now considered the holy grail of Waits broadcasts amongst serious collectors, this performance featuring Tom Waits alone at his piano with just his magnificent voice as accompaniment, the way he should be heard, is nothing short of staggering. This CD contains the full KQRS broadcast in perfect FM stereo quality, during which Tom performs a range of songs taken from his first three records "Closing Time", "The Heart Of Saturday Night" and the aforementioned "Nighthawks At The Diner". Bonus tracks are three TV broadcasts from the early to mid 1980s: "Mr. Siegal" performed on Don Lane's show in 1981, plus two 1986 Letterman broadcasts in support of his then brand new masterpiece "Raindogs"." (Leftfield Media) NB: De drie bonus tracks zijn van mindere geluidskwaliteit.
