Tom Waits: "The Black Rider" Demos and performances

"The Black Rider" Demos:
(tracks 1-14) These are the tracks recorded by Waits and given to Germany's Thalia Theatre for their production of The Black Rider. Wonderfully raw and spirited, with many tracks that were never released on his cleaned-up album 'The Black Rider', this is a must-have for Waits fans. Note: at times it sounds as if this were taken from a vinyl source.

(tracks 15-22) I've attached about a half-hour of excerpts I recorded at Brooklyn Acadamy of Music on 21 November 1993, where the Thalia Theatre performed 'The Black Rider' in all its eerie splendor. Enjoy!
