Waits did a musical in 89, for which William S. Burroughs wrote the
lyrics and (forgot the first name) Wilson the stage design. It was
premiered in my Hamburg and called The Black Rider. For this one Waits eventually released his demos years later.
In 92, Wilson & Waits did another musical together, w/o Burroughs this time but again premiered in Hamburg. Called Alice and based on Alice in Wonderland of course (Black Rider was based on the old folktale which was also the source for the very popular opera Der Freischuetz bei Carl Maria von Weber). Unlike the BR, Waits never released a single song of this. This is what this bootleg is :)
Waits has now done a new musical with Wilson again which will be debuted in Copenhagen next year. No idea what it's called. And Wilson also did two more musical in Hamburg for which Lou Reed wrote the music.
