Tom Waits concert chronology |
The Glitter and Doom Tour was a concert tour by American rock musician Tom Waits from June to August 2008. The tour is the last he has given to date. [1] The tour was recorded and a selection of live performances of songs from the tour were included on a live album called Glitter and Doom Live which was released the following year. [2] [3]
The tour was announced at a performance art press conference on May 5, 2008. [4] Anti records also released an article to NPR which had Tom interviewing himself. [5]
Tickets for Waits' summer shows were limited to two per person but, in an effort to beat ticket touts, a valid I.D. (passport or driving license) matching the name on the ticket was required to gain entry. Any concert-goer who did not have a valid I.D. or was found to be in possession of a ticket that had been resold was not allowed in and did not get a refund. [6] [7]
As of July 22 Tom Waits band consisted of the following:[ citation needed ]
