Title: A day late and a dollar short
Review: This is not what I would consider a live album per se, as it was set up in a studio, but none the less the audience and Waits' jokes and monologues give the album a most special "feel". The album continues much in the same vein as Small Change, but with the added audience the barroom feel is overwhelming, imagining Waits and his 3 man ensemble(which by the way do a great job) on the stage in a smoke filled bar(I know they are not in a bar, but in a studio, but one can imagine), right from the start the illusion and the feeling is created untill it culminates in Waits cover of Big Joe and Phantom 309, and the Spare Parts II(and closing) he make a very amuzing presentation of the band, and a strange farewell. A classic.
