In 1998, after Island Records released the compilation, Beautiful Maladies: The Island Years, Tom Waits left the label for ANTI-/Epitaph, whose president, Andy Kaulkin, said the label was "blown away that Tom would even consider us. We are huge fans." Waits himself was full of praise, saying "Epitaph is rare for being owned and operated by musicians. They have good taste and a load of enthusiasm, plus they're nice people. And they gave me a brand-new Cadillac, of course." Waits' first album for his new label, Mule Variations, was issued in April 1999. Billboard described the album as musically melding "backwoods blues, skewed gospel, and unruly art stomp into a sublime piece of junkyard sound sculpture." The record was Waits' first release to feature a turntablist, and it won a Grammy in 2000. As an indicator of how difficult it was by then to classify Waits' music, he was nominated simultaneously for Best Contemporary Folk Album (which he won) and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance (for the song ''Hold On''), both different from the genre for which he won his previous Grammy. The album was also his highest-charting release in the U.S. to date, reaching # 30 on Billboard. On 30th October the same year, Tom performed a superb set at Neil Young's annual Bridge School Benefit concert, which featured cuts from his new release alongside a well-chosen selection of cuts from previous albums. The crowd was a little restless by the time Tom Waits took the stage at the second night of the Bridge School Benefit. Temperatures were frigid throughout the entire day, leaving many folks shivering under their blankets. The Shoreline Ampitheater wasn’t equipped for a crowd of this size, and the food lines seemed like scenes straight out of the Soviet Union circa 1985. But all these issues seemed to vanish the second the lights dimmed and Tom Waits walked onstage. His fans were hungry for a show and he wasn’t going to disappoint. Waits ran through twelve songs over a fifty minute set, touching on most every era of his career. At first it sounded like Waits has been gargling from same battery acid Bob Dylan has been using recently, but he quickly cleared up and demonstrated surprising range, from his signature growl to a gentle rasp to the aching plea of “Tom Traubert’s Blues.” The latter song was particularly devastating, bringing the entire crowd to a hushed silence. Waits also showed why nobody tops him when it comes to stage banter. “I volunteered to come here,” he said midway through his set. “Long story. Back in the 1970s I borrowed a lot of money from Neil. For me, it was the days of long hair and short money. He loaned it to me so I could start a restaurant. I lost a lot of money on that restaurant. Let me rephrase that, I lost a lot of Neil’s money. And you don’t wanna see Neil mad. Anyway, it was a small, little restaurant, sort of a specialized place. But it went under, so Neil said, ‘'Listen, you owe me a lot of money, so I have three ideas for you: Jail time or you can come work in my yard, or you can do the Bridge School.'' The Tom Waits set was the clear highlight of the night. This performance is now available in full on this CD. Bonus cuts come from an in-station broadcast appearance Waits at KCRU, Santa Monica, on 31st March 1998.
