Tom Waits on Austin City Limits

I just watched a Tom Waits performance from long ago and thought it was awful. This was on my local PBS station a couple weeks ago and even though I have quite a few of his cd's going through all phases of his career it was very difficult to get through this performance which I would guess would be from the late seventies. If any one knows of this performance and can shed some light on it it would be appreciated.

That's funny. I saw the same Austin City limits and was floored. I am a huge Waits fan and thought it compared favorable to the show I saw him do down here at SXSW a couple of years ago.

This is a hair off topic, but since this is a Waits thread, I need to ask...My favorite album of all time is "Heart of Saturday Night." I wonder if there is anything from Waits live, from this era? His voice wasn't quite as raspy and the music much more jazz-centric.

Anyone know?

Thanks,
Z

"Heart of Saturday Night" came out in 1974 and "Nighthawks at the Diner" is a live double album recorded in 1975.
