In keeping with the recent tradition of seeding young Tom Waits, here's a veritable classic. The main show is great, and the filler material is an essential Tom clip. Though it's not really young Tom, as it's from 1977, but it's a worthy filler track. I also have an MPEG of this TV appearance (albeit rather poor quality) that I might seed as part of an early tom VCD at some point soon. Normal rules apply: don't get on board unless you can upload 2x what you download or hang on until there are no peers left. I don't have the bandwidth to host this one myself. Play nice, and remember to share the grooves.

Notes:
This is one of my first (and favorite Tom Waits bootlegs). The original packaging bills this as the info given in the header above, which seems reasonable for much of the CD. There is no information on the artwork about the hilarious interview and song tacked on at the end, but it's from the Fernwood Tonight TV show, from an unknown date in 1977. A final issue with the packaging is that is mislabels track 5 as "Can't Wait to Get Off Work". The song selection, however, makes this a very good bootleg. It's fun to hear Waits at a point in his songwriting history when he was starting to experiment with the humorous and bizarre storytelling type of peotry we hear within 2 years.
