The review

An outstanding compilation from Apocalypse Sound.  They obtained superb sources for each of the shows included here, and the audio mastering is incredible. 

There is two-and-a-half hours of classic Tom Waits displayed on this disc.  The Mike Douglas Show appearance from 1976 is, hands down, the highlight here.  The different programs provide a well-rounded representation of what Tom Waits is all about.

Apocalypse Sound give the title its' usual stellar DVD DigiPack treatment and will make you grin widely with your new acquisition.  Yes, I can easily recommend this one.
