Round Midnight Minneapolis Live 1975

Tom Waits' Round Midnight Minneapolis Live 1975 captures an intimate club performance from his early piano-bar troubadour period. The recording showcases his gravelly storytelling over sparse arrangements, with extended spoken-word intros and the raw energy of a small venue.

Standout Tracks

• Ol' 55: The closing track that became one of his most covered songs
• Emotional Weather Report: Opens the set with over six minutes of Waits' signature barroom poetry

Mood: late night, barroom, intimate, storytelling
