The review
A superbly balanced, stereo soundboard of vintage Tom Waits and his ensemble. It is VERY difficult to pick out the standout tracks, so I'm not going to. What is a standout in this recording is the band itself. Frank Vicari's Saxophone work on the opening Spare Parts, sets the level of performance for the show. You won't find any Jazz Saxophone playing better than that. These guys are great and the wonderful recording quality simply encourages you to turn it up!
A highly recommended boot.
