1999-04-01: VH1 Storytellers: Burbank Airport, Los Angeles, CA, USA
~ Release by Tom Waits (see all versions of this release, 2 available)
Annotation
This bootleg was recorded from Tom's VH1 Storytellers concert at the Burbank Airport in Los Angeles, CA on 1 April 1999. The concert was broadcast on VH1 Storytellers, though a number of songs were cut for the final broadcast. The bootleg was released with the complete show. There were some annoying gaps, skips and other errors introduced in the original recording from its transfer to digital. So a 'Remastered' version was done by Stephen Pickett with these annoying artifacts removed. That is what this version is. There was also a second, further remastering of this remaster, in which the stories and the songs were split into different tracks and the name was changed from 'VH1 Storytellers' to 'Grand Weepers and Grim Reapers'. That's also in the MB database (disc 1 and disc 2).
