Notes:
There is about a minute during the Mose Allison set (41 to 42min mark) where the tape displays some re-occuring damage. This affects the picture more so than the audio. It could be that the original PBS master has this defect.

Soundstage Show #208 (1975) 
TW: musical performer. 
PBS television show on Tom Waits and Mose Allison. Chicago/ USA (aired December 22, 1975, recorded November 3, 1975 or earlier). Performs: "Eggs And Sausage", "Semi-Suite", "Diamonds On My Windshield", "Drunk On The Moon", "Better Off Without A Wife", "Nighthawk Postcards", "The Heart Of Saturday Night" and "San Diego Serenade". With Kenny Soderblum on alto sax and Jim Atlas on upright bass. 
Jay S. Jacobs (2000): "He was invited to perform live on the PBS show Soundstage. Heightening the thrill factor for Waits was the knowledge that he would be sharing the bill with his long time idol Mose Allison. The segment's highlight is the opening number, Waits's dramatic a capella performance of "Eggs and Sausage." Wearing a ratty black sports coat, a loose tie, and a brown beret, he sits at the counter of a real diner, cigarette in hand. Around him we glimpse tired waitresses, bored patrons, sizzling burgers. His only musical accompaniment is the snapping of his fingers and the slapping of his leg. Finishing the tune, he turns to a waitress and asks for another cup of coffee."
