Tom Waits is one of the most original musicians of the last five decades. Renowned for his gravelly
voice and dazzling mix of musical styles, he's also one of modern music's most enigmatic and influential artists.

His songs have been covered by Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart and Norah Jones, among many others. But Waits has always pursued his own creative vision, with little concern for musical fashion.

In a long career of restless reinvention, from the barfly poet of his early albums to the junkyard
ringmaster of Swordfishtrombones, his songs chronicle lives from the margins of American society -
drifters, dreamers, hobos and hoodlums - and his music draws on a rich mix of influences, including
the blues, jazz, Weimar cabaret and film noir.

Using rare archive, audio recordings and interviews, this film is a bewitching after-hours trip through
the surreal, moonlit world of Waits' music - a portrait of a pioneering musician and his unique,
alternative American songbook.

Tom Waits - KPFK Sessions, Studio City, CA, USA - 1973-1975 (Flac)

Thanks to thr original uploader on Dime.

Original Info File:

This is a truly fabulous and interesting collection of early Tom Waits’ radio shows that includes music and interviews during a period of about a year and half; around the time of his first couple of album releases. Fascinating because you can actually hear audibly the metamorphosis of Tom from a struggling musician into a star. His singing style change is remarkable and his growing confidence is obvious. The earliest stuff doesn’t sound at all like the Tom we know and love. The change in his voice is amazing (smoking and drinking does take its toll, lol). Tom’s interviews are very interesting as he tells the background stories of the songs, kind of a pre-Storytellers thing. Don’t miss this one if you don’t have it. Enjoy

Tom Waits - BBC Studios, London, UK - 26.07.1979 (Flac)

Thanks to powerfan for sharing on Dime.

Original Info File:

This LP is entitled "Never Talk to Strangers".  There is no info about the publishing company and the only additional info on the LP reads, "TOM 79". Here is the LP without pop or click removal/EQing/or other remastering. If you want, feel free to remove the pops/clicks or remaster this show, and reupload a fresh copy!
On the cover of LP, it says this performance was on July 27th, 1979, but I believe that date is inacurate. According to tomwaitslibrary.com, as well as etree, this performance was actually on July 26, 1979, so that is the date I am going with. Lastly, I just want to say that this show has a phenomenal live version of Kentucky Avenue. Enjoy!
