Sometimes the origins of the recordings are listed wrong. So don't make the mistake of purchasing this same show under different titles. It is considered to be one of the best TW bootlegs. Not only for its great recording quality but also for the great performance by Mr. Waits and his band. Especially the Burma Shave track is beyond all praise. It starts with a trumpet solo by Herbert Hardesty, belting out the melody of Gershwin's Summertime. Hardesty is credited on the Blue Valentine album. He's also on the 1979 Austin City Limits TV appearance. He's also featured on the 1992 album "Goin Back To New Orleans" by Dr. John. He used to play for Fats Domino. The origins of this recording have remained a mystery for years. But Colin Hubert from Australia did some research and posted it to the Raindogs Listserv. It seems this is not an ordinary audience tape. It is said to be recorded by a local radio station which was then called Double Jay (with Australian DJ Richard Kingsmill) at the State Theatre Sydney/ Australia, March 1979. It was broadcast in Australia late 1979. To make things a bit more complicated, the Cold Beer tracklisting is incorrect. Track nr. 8 should read: Do The Hokey Cokey/ Pasties And A G String. Track nr. 9 should read: Burma Shave. Track nr. 10 should read: Band Intro/ Romeo Is Bleeding. The recording is easily identified by listening to the intro for "Tom Traubert's Blues" going: "I kinda borrowed your unofficial national anthem on this whole thing. I'll give it back when I'm done. I met this girl named Matilda, you know. And I had a little too much to drink that night. So this is about throwing up in a foreign country."

Notes: 1979, May 2, SYDNEY, State Theatre, Australia. A liberated bootleg that has circulated under a number of different titles. This one is "Cold Beer on a Warm Night", the warm fuzzy boot, not the remastered one. Thanks for the heads-up on the date Ed. Great to hear Tom Down-Under sampling a bit of our unofficial national anthem, "Waltzing Matilda"! Thanks Covey
