Tom WaitsGlitter And Doom Live
ANTI- Records [2009]
(2 CD Set)
Fire Drill Review:
Glitter And Doom Live is a two disc collection of tracks from Tom Waits' sold out tour of the US and Europe in the summer of 2008. It does a nice job of not only covering his newer ANTI material but also gives you some classics like "Singapore" and "I'll Shoot The Moon". This record feels cohesive even though the songs are meshed together from all over and if you have never seen Waits live, the record does a solid job of giving you the memorable experience on CD. Disc two is called Tom Tales, which is a selection of the comic bromides, strange musings, and unusual facts that Tom traditionally shares with his audience during the piano set. It is not something that you would listen to multiple times but is a nice addition, given this is a Waits live set staple. Overall, Tom Waits is a big historic name that more people really should know and Glitter And Doom Live is well worth your time for new and old to hear what all the eclectic fuss is about.
Key Track: "Trampled Rose"
