- Laser Media Production- 5584420551168- 300 grn
Recorded live in Cleveland for radio broadcast in 1977, STANDING ON THE CORNER finds Tom Waits in the barfly crooner mode that defined his earlier material. Touring around the time of his Small Change and Foreign Affairs albums, the set list includes piano-fueled numbers from that era including "I Never Talk To Strangers," "Jitterbug Boy," and "Step Right Up." Outstanding FM broadcast recording. There’s some hiss and fuzz to the recording, but it honestly works so well that actually prefer the authenticity of it vs a digital remastering. This is a rare find, so if you dig Tom Waits, this is absolutely worth picking up. Great setlist too. German bootleg of a Live broadcast by WMMS-FM from the Agora, Cleveland, Ohio 25th October 1977. In October of 1977 Tom Waits was a busy man. Tom's remarkable fifth album Foreign Affairs had been released the month before, of which producer Bones Howe commented: "It's like a black-and-white movie". The record's cover perpetuated this idea and the live dates Tom was now performing in its wake also, to an extent, used this concept in design and projection. Waits only played a handful of US dates in October 77, four to be exact, one each in Boston and New York, and two in Ohio. On 22nd he been at Cincinnati's infamous ''hole in the wall", Bogart's , and on 25th this show, at the well established Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, was performed in front of an enthusiastic crowd. The show was broadcast by WMMS FM across the local area and the whole gig, as can be heard on this CD, must have been quite incredible. Tom is in fine voice and in fine spirits, using his customary dry humour to keep the audience in fits throughout. The one rather curios aspect however, is the minimal amount of material he performs from his just released record. Of the ten numbers, only ''I Never Talk To Strangers'' originates on Foreign Affairs , the remainder of the cuts coming largely from his previous record, 1976s Small Change along with one track a-piece from the live Nighthawks At The Diner and 1974s The Heart Of Saturday Night , and a delightful cover of the old Frank Loesser show tune, ''Standing On The Corner''. Those in attendance certainly don't appear to have minded this factor however, and for whatever reason Tom chose to play the tracks he did, the results, as can be heard here, are nothing short of startling. In his music, the American singer, composer and author Tom Waits combines influences from classic genres such as blues, rock, jazz and folk. He has been successful in doing this for decades. Since the beginning of his career in the 1970s, Wait's compositions have been covered by countless musicians. The album Standing On The Corner contains live recordings from 1977, which were recorded by US radio and are now on Compact Disc to be made available to all fans.
