Set List: Tom Waits, New York, 1977

Anticipation of the upcoming Waits tour takes me back to October 1977. Beacon Theater. New York City. The show that got me completely hooked on Tom Waits after seeing him at a benefit in Philadelphia and at the Bottom Line the year before.
Not sure exactly what Waits played that night at the Beacon - he did open with the Dean Martin classic "Standing on the Corner " - but at My Father's Place on Long Island on Oct. 10, 1977, he played:
Standing On the Corner Watching / I Never Talk to Strangers / Pasties & a G-string / Invitation to the Blues>Eggs & Sausage / Depot Depot / Jitterbug Boy / Step Right Up / I I Wish I was in New Orleans / Small Change / The Piano Has Been Drinking / Emotional Weather Report / Muriel / Jack & Neal / Tom Traubert's Blues
