.. The Dinner
Description:
Recorded in front of a live audience at the Record Plant recording studio in Los Angeles in 1975, Nighthawks at the Diner debuts some of Waitsâ?? greatest classics like 'Warm Beer, Cold Women' and 'Eggs and Sausage' with a crack Jazz ensemble backing him up and some of the greatest stage patter ever committed to record.
Nighthawks at the Diner was an indication of what a true and unique talent Waits wasâ?¦ totally unique in his timeâ?¦ falling between the cracks of traditions singing and traditional theater, Waits does a mixture of the two things. What Waits does is create a theater of the mind, a cabaret lounge with a much more surreal take on those traditions. - .. THE DINNER
