Nicely done review, but I'm still half-shocked to learn that Tom Waits was on The Dinah Shore Show. I remember that when I was a kid, my grandmother used to watch The Dinah Shore show. And my hazy recollection (I was about five or six when I watched it with her and it's been 30 years) is that it was a pretty 'square' show.
Well, then, it will surprise you to learn that the two episodes of the Dinah Shore show which I can recall from the 70s (days I bagged college and stayed in my room smoking hash instead) were one with Johnny Winter and Muddy Waters performing "The Blues Had A Baby (and They Named It Rock & Roll)" -- and another one with David Bowie and Iggy Pop!
So, yeah, Dinah WAS pretty square, but open-minded, and she evidently had someone REALLY cool on her staff handling the booking.
