Last year's fine four -piece band was down to one instrument-an upright bass-and Waits, as a result, spent more 'A' in L.A. time at the piano than he has of late. The net result was positive: the duo's simple arrangements highlighted the grand structure and lilting melodies of Waits' songs, and made the simple beauty of his lyrics all the more compelling. The show wasn't as well -paced as others have been, and one could quibble about other points: if you're going to play the first four bars of "Sight for Sore Eyes," one of your best songs, then play the whole thing. Or, if you're going to sing half of the first verse of "Better Off Without a Wife," an audience favorite, sing the whole thing (Waits backed off, claiming he'd promised his new bride that he'd never again sing the song). But this is all small potatoes: In his previous appearances Waits has made a strong case for himself as one of the premier songwriters and performers of his generation, and this one was no different.
