Tom Waits- GLITTER AND DOOM LIVE- 2CD- 2009- Anti, Inc./Epitaph Europe- 8714092705324- 500 grn
GLITTER AND DOOM LIVE is a live album by Tom Waits, by the ANTI- label on November 23, 2009. The songs were recorded during the Glitter And Doom Tour of the US and Europe in the summer of 2008. Disc One is designed to sound like one evening's performance, even though the 17 tracks are selected from 10 cities, from Paris to Birmingham, Tulsa to Milan, and Atlanta to Dublin. Sonically the album is superb and has been beautifully recorded and meticulously mastered. Disc Two is a bonus compendium 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. Waits' topics range from the ritual of insects to the last dying breath of Henry Ford. Tom Waits’ GLITTER AND DOOM LIVE doesn't fall into the various traps that many other concert recordings do, though it does have its problems. This double-disc set marks his third live effort in his nearly 40-year career, each one summing up his career to the point of its release. The musical performances here were culled from Waits’ historic sold-out tour of the U.S. and Europe. He compiled and sequenced the tracks himself, intending to make them sound like a single show. The material leans, understandably, on his recordings with the Anti label. There are stellar performances here, of “Get Behind The Mule” from The Mule Variations, “Trampled Rose” from Real Gone, and a haunting version of Leadbelly’s “Fannin Street” from Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards, to mention just three of the 17 cuts included on disc one. But he also goes back to his Island albums with a new approach to the material. For instance, there are completely re-visioned readings of “Lucky Day” and “I’ll Shoot The Moon” from 1993’s The Black Rider, and a killer - though equally revamped - version of “Singapore” from 1985’s Rain Dogs.

You either love Tom Waits or you don't get him at all. Waits is a melodic mad scientist. He is forever experimenting with words, instruments, arrangements, and voice. Others have tried to take Tom's music and make it their own. In GLITTER AND DOOM LIVE Tom takes his music and re-makes it his own all over again. Listening to some of favorite Waits songs re-arranged on GLITTER AND DOOM LIVE, hearing something hauntingly familiar and yet oh so different, was like finding out a delicious secret about someone you've known all itself life. Life is full of even more possibilities than you ever dreamed. The second disc is Tom in conversation with who ever will listen. It's just Tom - take him or leave him. You especially will like it while driving home late at night. Tom keeps you company and you the designated driver. Musically, the performances are flawless, as is the sound on this set. Waits decided to ax most of the stage banter from disc one. This is problematic because it is as much part and parcel of his show as the music is. Without it, the music as a whole feels more like just a random but solid collection of live tracks, rather than Waits' intended purpose of a single-show experience. The other problem is disc two, a bonus in this deluxe package comprised of a single 35-plus-minute track called Tom Tales, which splices stories and dialogue, reminiscences and spontaneous comedy. These routines work brilliantly and seamlessly in the context of his show.
