Tom Waits   10/18/1999

5th Avenue Theatre, Seattle, WA
Media audio/FLAC   27 discs
Tech Notes Here are both of Tom's shows at the 5th Ave Theatre in Seattle from 1999.
Both are very nice audience recordings, with the 19th being a bit better than the 18th. (More audience comes through in the tape from the 18th)

The varied setlist over 2 nights represents most of the material from the tour, and these tapes do that justice.

Generation is unknown, but the lineage goes:
Taper > CDR > CDR > Aiff > edits > CDR > FLAC > You

Made just a few changes on the hard drive:
Retracked both shows and lowered about 15 whoops on the first show.
Lowered some clap spikes at the beginning of tracks on both shows.
Also edited about 10 seconds out during the applause on the first show where the nearby audience was a bit distracting.

If you have heard these shows before, these are the same sources that circulate. No EQ was done to them. The taper faded the encore applause and removed it before circulating, but Tom made us work for almost 5 minutes each time, so no complaining there.

The real issue here is that Lucky Day cuts off on the end of the show from the 19th. Please everyone look around and see if we can't find an alternate source to patch that with!

Simple art is included, and it is basically what was sent to me with the discs. Remember to go buy some more Waits material-- Hell, if you have it all already, buy it for friends or ex-lovers... or just pick up that Down By Law DVD...
