Tom Waits
April 26, 1977
Post Aula
Bremen, Germany
This is a damn nice bootleg (G.&P. Music) of Tom Waits from a show in Bremen, Germany on April 26, 1977. A couple of things about this upload. The cover notes this is a “limited edition.” I’m not quite sure what that means. While researching whether this has been commercially released, I discovered that this was (I believe) originally released by Great Dane (go to the link below (below “Fafos” to check it out. What I am uploading, however, was released by G.&P. Music. (So, I guess this is a rip-off of a bootleg. Makes me think bootleggers have lots of class, all of it very low!) In any event, there is some Cyrillic type at the bottom of one of boot’s pics you will get. I do not speak or read Russian, and while my wife took some Russian in college, she can’t read it either. Unfortunately, I do not know how to include the specific text here, so perhaps one of our Cyrillic reading friends here will have an opportunity to grab this and translate for us. Let me thank you in advance for your help in this matter!
There was no other information provided with this when I got it, not text file or checksums. Consequently, I guess this introduction constitutes the “original” text file. Additionally, I have created checksums for this recording. Both the checksums and this introduction/text file will be included in your download.
This sounds to me like a soundboard recording, although I think folks who attend his shows are generally pretty attentive/not particularly rowdy. For the most part the only time you will hear the audience is between songs.
Not that you should care, but this recording includes one of my favorite Waits’ songs, “Step Right Up.” I’m a big one for novelty songs, and I consider “Step Right Up” to be one. Any song that includes lines like “Turns a sandwich into a banquet” and “It’s our going out of business sale!” definitely qualifies as novelty.
This is another Tom Waits recording that I would never play within earshot of my wife. The production values are fine. She just hates Tom’s voice and finds most of Tom’s music too jazzy. Oh well. I think it’s really pretty nice.
As I noted above, no checksum or original text file was included when I got this. Therefore, I am including this introduction as the “original” text file. I have also created a fingerprint file (also included with the download) using xACT 2.16.
One more thing: Please note that I am, as always, simply the messenger. All thanks go to mozier2001 and, of course, the musicians. A very humble “thank you!” from Luckymudster to one and all.
