    As usual, it's worth any amount of trouble to hear Waits live.

    For those who self-identify as Tom Waits Fans, Glitter and Doom Live succeeds on pretty much every level.

    The good news, however, is that admirers of the later albums such as Bone Mahcine, the Black Rider and Real Gone are very well served. [Jan 2010, p. 91]

    I just wanted to say the person doing the summary wrote "antidotes" by Tom Waits and it should be "anecdotes". I find it really funny when I hear someway say that and it's even more embarrassing to see it printed. Tom Waits is amazing though., get Rain Dogs, if you've never heard of him.… Expand

    The best album of the year no matter that these songs are previously released.

    A decent performance that has a horrible audio quality. The poor recording quality makes the performance feel distant and lacking any emotional punch. A masterpiece this is not!… Expand
