Tom Waits on Austin City Limits

I just watched a Tom Waits performance from long ago and thought it was awful. This was on my local PBS station a couple weeks ago and even though I have quite a few of his cd's going through all phases of his career it was very difficult to get through this performance which I would guess would be from the late seventies. If any one knows of this performance and can shed some light on it it would be appreciated.

This is a hair off topic, but since this is a Waits thread, I need to ask...My favorite album of all time is "Heart of Saturday Night." I wonder if there is anything from Waits live, from this era? His voice wasn't quite as raspy and the music much more jazz-centric.

Anyone know?

Thanks,

I second the good mention of Holly Cole's "Temptation" It's a good tribute album.

"Heart of Saturday Night" is special to me not only because my Dad played it so often when I was a youngster, but because of tunes like "Diamond On My Windshield" and "Ghosts of Saturday Night" Those tunes tell stories that I thoroughly enjoy hearing time and again.

I did just pick up "Nighthawks At The Diner" but I didn't listen to any tracks in the car yet (I have a great system as far as auto audio goes)

Thanks again!
