But it's much longer, featuring a full concert, showcasing Waits in terriffic form, performing some of his best songs. Not saying it's the only Waits album you need, but it's pretty much the only Waits album I really need.
How does it compare to Big Time? Because what you described is pretty much how I feel about Big Time, although I go through phases where I need to beat out the dustman with the Rain Dogs.
