The Glitter and Doom Tour was a concert tour by American rock musician Tom Waits from June to August 2008. The tour was recorded and a selection of live performances of songs from the tour were included on a live album called Glitter and Doom Live which was released the following year.
Background
The tour was announced at a performance art press conference on May 5, 2008. Anti records also released an article to NPR which had Tom interviewing himself.
Tickets
Tickets for Waits' summer shows were limited to two per person but, in an effort to beat ticket touts, a valid I.D. (passport or driving license) matching the name on the ticket was required to gain entry. Any concert-goer who did not have a valid I.D. or was found to be in possession of a ticket that had been resold was not allowed in and did not get a refund.

- Vincent Henry – woodwinds
