The live performances are a series of fresh renditions of Waits\u2019 new material as well as classics like \u201cSingapore\u201d and \u201cGet Behind the Mule,\u201d which sound rawer and rockier than ever. The opener \u201cLucinda\/Ain\u2019t Goin\u2019 Down\u201d and the bluesy bad-ass interpretation of \u201cGoin\u2019 Out West\u201d are at top form, eclipsing their previous versions; while \u201cFannin Street\u201d and \u201cLucky Day\u201d are stunning and sentimental but never sappy. Although songs like \u201cDirt in the Ground\u201d and \u201cThe Party You Throw Away\u201d are less then captivating, the majority of the album is a testament to why Waits is one of the most sought after live shows in North America. Along with the music, a second disc features another side of Waits. As a master storyteller, Waits spins a yarn about purchasing Henry Ford\u2019s last breath on eBay among other things. His strange and comedic Tom Tales are almost as endearing as his music and really complements the cabaret-like atmosphere that surrounds him. <em>Glitter and Doom Live<\/em> is just another reminder of the ferocity, wit and sheer spellbinding power of Tom Waits.
