I have it on reasonable authority that he's touring this summer. Something called the Glitter and Doom tour. Details expected next week but I hope to hell there'll be European dates...

Maybe there is something wrong with me, or I'm missing something but I just don't get Tom Waits at all, most of my friends think he is a maverick, but I think he sounds like when a Muppet sings a sad moody solo on the Muppet Show!

This is good news, I'd love to see him live.
You getting all excited there jersey?- Yes.JerseyRaindog
- But if I can't get tickets I'll be ok. Seen him twice now so I know I'm lucky.JerseyRaindog
- Ah, so you're sorted then! Hope he is touring though, I'd say he's cool live.ian

I like him because I can always picture the places / characters he talks about or intimates. Some of his lines are great too - 'The piano has been drinking', and the talk of a one eyed midget playing pool. Not everyday stuff, although I did know a great pool player who had one arm - he rested the stick on his stump.

I have it on reasonable authority he'll be coming to the UK too.
If I miss him, I might kill myself.

hes probably gonna play in out of the way small venues or bars in like kentucky

It's almost impossible to see a good show these days. At smaller venues, tickets sell out before you even discover they are on sale. At larger venues, tickets are so expensive (with service charges and handling fees added) that you can't afford the tickets.

Confirmed. Apparently European dates to follow - from Spain to Dublin.

European dates confirmed.
