Critics' Quotes, Glitter and Doom Live

"Near the halfway point of Glitter and Doom Live, the third official concert recording from the ever-mercurial Tom Waits (but his first in more than 21 years), a deep, swampy blues called "Dirt in the Ground" is unleashed. Its melody is haunting but warm, its vocal performance frighteningly caustic but immensely human, and its lyrics...well, its lyrics are as simple as life and death...There is nothing quite as affirming as hearing Waits singing like the devil...Such exquisitely scattered storytelling is a major bonus."

Critics' Quotes, Glitter and Doom Live

"This album may make you curse Tom Waits for not touring more...From the sound of Glitter and Doom Live, Waits is as vital onstage as ever, with a band that can play sweet on the ballads and wail like crazy on the rock 'n' roll."

Critics' Quotes, Glitter and Doom Live

"Most of the songs sound nothing like their original incarnations. Waits and his five-piece band - including woodwinds, harmonica, banjo, mandolin, reed organ, mellotron and clarinet, as well as the traditional drum, guitar, piano and bass - give new life to the arrangements. And then there's Tom's vocals. On the bellowing ballads of "Fannin Street," "I'll Shoot The Moon" and "Lucky Day," Waits' rough edge adds character and darkness to the tales of heartbreak."

Critics' Quotes, Glitter and Doom Live

"Waits doesn't so much perform his material as he inhabits it, resulting in a stream-of-consciousness flow that makes his live record sound like one flawless show even though it was culled from eight concerts in America and Europe."
