It took me back to a concert Waits did at the University of Toronto in the early 80's where Waits finished a song quickly and you could hear 2,000 people tapping their feet! The crownd erupted with applause for one of the most unique artists of the last 50 years.
Not only is this recording great musically, it will probably make you laugh.

Waits at his bestReview created: 04/09/09

Tom Waits sounds like an old Beatnik poet with bronchial pneumonia and I love it! World weary and wise beyond his years (at least, when this album was recorded) this is certainly my favorite Waits album and I’m happy to replace my old LP with this fine CD.

) If you've always wanted to check out Tom Waits but don't know where to start, Nighthawks at the Diner is an excellent starting point. Every track on this classic disc is fantastic. Kick-ass musicianship--Wait's bluesy piano and his band, his trademark grizzly growl and incredible lyrics are are all on display here. Hilarious, poignant, insightful, sad, irreverent, the narrative and emotional power of Waits' songwriting is undeniable and he is a live performer nonpareil. You'll laugh, you'll cry--Nighthawks at the Diner is a live document of early, LA, classic Waits. This own's simply a must-have.

Very Under Rated - and Very Good!Recorded live this performance really captures Tom in those early days in Los Angeles after he'd already had a few albums under his belt. Very sure of who his stage persona was becoming, he tells some of his best stories here with the confident demeanor of a very vocal, yet somewhat tipsy bus rider backed by great little, punchy, somewhat low-key band. A bit tongue in cheek at times, but never without colorful characters and descriptions few songwriters can evoke. If you like Tom Waits at all, do yourself a favor and rediscover this classic. It really is a must.
