少人数の観客を前に行われた、全曲新曲によるライヴ盤。語りと歌が混然として、濃厚なトム・ウェイツの世界に浸れます。ファーストやセカンドが好きな人には「ちょっと違う」という感じかもしれません。

なお、プロモでは1面の裏が4面になっています(以前に見た別のプロモでも同様でした)。写真では分かりづらいのですが、インナー・スリーヴにはジャケ裏の"Not For Sale"のスタンプを押したときに出来たと思われる凹みがあり、これがオリジナルで使用されたインナー・スリーヴとわかります。

"Nighthawks at the Diner" is the first live album by Tom Waits and his third overall. It was released on Asylum Records in October 1975. It was recorded live in the Los Angeles Record Plant Studios, in front of a small invited audience.

The title was inspired by Edward Hopper's 1942 painting Nighthawks. The album's working title had been "Nighthawk Postcards from Easy Street," but was shortened to Nighthawks at the Diner, which is the opening line to "Eggs and Sausage (In a Cadillac with Susan Michelson)". The cover, designed by Cal Schenkel, is also inspired by the painting.
