It’s only live album in as much as it was staged studio set set in studio to resemble an actual night club. I never realize that until much later on. This is one reason that I pushed for its inclusion in this contest because it is as much a part of Waits’ canon as any other album. Yes it is...
Thank you.
Some of the intros are fantastic especially “Better Off Without...” i used to quote those lines verbatim when I was a single guy
“At end of the evening you end up taking advantage of yourself...” lol
Nighthawks/Small Change, H&V>>>Bone Machine.
I am also going to use the time to get deeper into Orphans. So much to get thru on that and after nearly 10 years I havent given it the time it deserves.
Put Nighthawks in and I will participate. To not include it is pure folly. I dont even Understand not putting it in. Its a legitimate item in his canon and its as good as anything he did in his early troubadour period nay his entire career.
But thats just my opinion.
No Prayer-IM
A -Tull
Systematic Chaos - DT
Final Cut, Momentary Lapse-Pink Floyd
Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking - aRoger Waters

Ill never put it in rhe Aqualung/TAAB arena but its as least as good as anything they have released
Post-Crest. Now if they would only add real drums....
Awww. Its hard to vote for any of the HCE stuff that's left. After Book Im pretty unfamiliar with the 4.5 stuff so I’ll have to give those a serious listen.
Ill play on this on since its the only one I know.
Kid and wishing but I should have voted for Misunderstood as well. Next round.
Ive always liked this album. A bit AOR ish but I like H’s voice.
