Tom Waits - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 10-8-1974

The flood of Ebbets Field radio broadcasts continues. Here's a solo acoustic one from singer-songwriter Tom Waits.

I've found over 60 different concert recordings that come from the Ebbets Field venue. Out of all of those, I think only one where I have two performances by the same musical act from different dates is Tom Waits. I found this one, from 1974, and another one from 1975 that I'll be posting later.

The debut album by Waits, "Closing Time," was released in 1973. His second album, "The Heart of Saturday Night," came out on October 15, 1974. That's one week after this concert. So if someone attending this concert was only familiar with the "Closing Time" album, they wouldn't have known most of the songs. Only four songs performed where from that album (tracks 1, 7, 16, and 19). The rest would be included on his second album, or other later albums. One song, "Good Night Loving Trail," is a cover written by Utah Phillips, which Waits has never officially released.

There's a bootleg called "The Dime Store Novels, Vol. 1" that consists of this concert. It's packaged like an official release, and it seems it's widely available. However, it is still just a bootleg. (And there doesn't seem to be any "Vol. 2.")

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent.  

This album is 48 minutes long.
