Tom Waits with Ralph Ebler on drums.
Host/Production Supervisor is Vin Scelsa.
This is a wonderful recording. Cool set list and cool chat from Tom.
Vin Scelsa has actually circulated this from his own archive at some point.
I am not sure how close to his source this version is…but the quality tells me that it could be from his version…in which case, this has never even travelled through the airwaves! You decide!

I didn’t want to mess with this so left it as is…
It was listed here a long time ago….
