专辑简介
Glitter And Doom: Tom Waits In Concert at Atlanta's Fox Theater - Two Hour Plus '08 Live Show
A wonderful recent Waits performance from Atlanta's Fox Theater.
A typically kinetic Two Hour Plus Show!
We get a shitload of wonderful songs from the extensive Waits back-catalogue along with newer material and a few excellent covers! What the fuck else could you want?
Courtesy of NPR, a well produced and downright exciting Tom Waits live show from The Fox Theatre, July 5th, 2008. These performances bristle with energy and the setlist features satisfying amounts of Waits' bastardized electric blues, even as the sprawling two hour plus show leaves plenty of room for offbeat sidetracks. Waits' voice is amazing, like some cabaret theatre carney screaming out from the depths of hell. Give a listen to the opener, "Lucinda," a clear reinvention of Screamin' Jay Hawkin's "I Put A Spell On You," whose otherworldly production and style is masterly re-created by Waits' crack band (Seth Ford Young, bass - Patrick Warren, keys - Omar Torrez, guitars - Vincent Henry, woodwinds - Casey Waits, drums).
They reverently revisit the style on "Black Market Baby," and there's some fun Twilight Zone theme variations underlying "9th and Hennepin."
Tom Waits doesn’t tour a lot nor does he tour widely. And if the cities he hit on the 2008 “Glitter and Doom” tour can be strung into a mnemonic such as “PEHDTSCKJMBA,” he can’t be touring far and wide. “PEHDTSCKJMBA” (pronounced “pess-kuh-JUM-buh”) is an acronym for each of the tour’s stops: Phoenix, El Paso, Houston, Dallas, Tulsa, St. Louis, Columbus, Knoxville, Jacksonville, Mobile, Birmingham and Atlanta.
Fortunately, the Atlanta show, at the Fox Theatre, was broadcast on National Public Radio. A special word of thanks to RBayers who tracked the show (NPR offered the 141-minute show as a continuous stream) and shared it on the internet.
According to the NPR write-up: “For his Atlanta stop, Waits delivered a stunning and epic two-and-a-half-hour performance, including songs he says he’s never attempted outside of the studio before. Backing Waits is a five-piece group featuring Seth Ford-Young (upright bass), Patrick Warren (keyboards), Omar Torrez (guitars), Vincent Henry (woodwinds) and Casey Waits (drums and percussion). ‘They play with racecar precision and they are all true conjurers,’ Waits says. ‘They are all multi-instrumentalists and they polka like real men’.”
Writing in Atlanta Magazine, Steve Fennessy noted: “The show was unique in a lot of ways. When tickets went on sale about six weeks ago, Waits became the first artist to try out a new way of getting tickets into the hands of fans, as opposed to scalpers. Buyers were limited to two tickets each, and instead of paper tickets being sent through the mail, buyers had to show their credit card at the door the night of the show. Ushers scanned the card with a handheld device, which then spat out a slip of paper with your seat numbers on it. In this way, scalpers were largely taken out of the equation…
“I was lucky enough to score third row center seats for the show, and I’m convinced - writing this three days after the fact - that, in the 25 years I’ve been going to concerts, it was the single best musical event I’ve ever witnessed. What made it so great? That’s a tough one to answer. Certainly the venue is spectacular, the sound was spot-on, and my vantage point was incredible. And the band (which included his son on drums) was, to dissect the word, utterly in concert with each other, and with Waits, who led them with sharp whistles and a raised arm.
But it was Waits himself, in his bowler hat and boots, stomping the floor of the platform from which he sang and raising a cloud of what appeared to be baby powder, that, no surprise, made the night. Between songs, he took sips from a steaming styrofoam cup, which probably contained tea but I decided actually contained tacks, the better to stretch and tear his vocal cords and allow them to make the most guttural, gravelly, gorgeous sounds. Waits’s voice is an acquired taste, and it is, in every conceivable way, the opposite of smooth. He plays guitar - not to mention piano melodies that will make you weep - but it’s his voice that is his true instrument, coming in off-beat, playing with the syncopation, down in the gutter and occasionally keening toward the roof.”
