Hot damn!! Tom Waits to tour. Dates announced next week.
According to the Eyeball Kid website, dates for an August Waits tour in Canada/USA will be announced next week. I hope they come somewhere within a days drive of me.

Oh, I really hope I can go to one!

no way! thats great! I was just thinking about this today actually. Weird. WHere does it say it on the website?
|
Wow! I got into him about five years ago (when I was 17) and have never looked back. Unfortunately, I have never been anywhere near his more recent venues.
Hope that changes this time around. |

Hope that changes this time around. Thats bout the same age I was when I got into him. I bought Small Change on a whim and its still one of my favorite albums ever. |
My friend's extremely into Tom Waits. Every time I went to his house that'd be all he listened to. One of the things I like about Tom though was his very low, scraggly voice. It'd always crack me up. What's your favorite song by him?

Thank you SO much for posting this, you made my day! Tom Waits is my hero, I really hope he comes to Nevada, Utah or Southern California, it'd break my heart if he toured and I couldn't see him.
|
Although it's not his best, IMO, "Innocent When You Dream" always gets to me.
|
Hot damn is right. He is easily in my top 3 favorite artists of all time.
Personally i swear by his songs: Postcard from a hooke rin minneapolis Come on up to the house Heart of Saturday night As well as the song on Black Rider about the devil giving bullets... i think it is called Just the Right Bullet. Man i hope he comes near me... |
from pitchforkmedia:
Tom Waits will leave his lair for a rare tour this August, hitting Southern and Midwestern cities he hasn't played in decades (if at all). "We need to go to Tennessee to pick up some fireworks, and someone owes me money in Kentucky," Waits said in a press release. Yeah, Tom Waits is pretty much the coolest man alive. Come on up to the house: 08-01 Atlanta, GA - Tabernacle 08-02 Asheville, NC - Thomas Wolfe Auditorium 08-04 Memphis, TN - Orpheum Theatre 08-05 Nashville, TN - Ryman Auditorium 08-07 Louisville, KY - Palace Theatre 08-09 Chicago, IL - Auditorium Theatre 08-11 Detroit, MI - Opera House 08-13 Akron, OH - Akron Civic A Waits rarities box set, entitled Orphans, is rumored to be in the works for Anti-, but nothing has been confirmed. ___________________________ I'm so happy he is playing Michigan. Any idea when these go on sale? Ticketmaster has nothing scheduled. |
Damn. Maybe Memphis.
|
Now i can't wait to hear pricing and whether i have to deal with the horror that is Ticketmaster. I'll most likely catch the last show in Akron. I'm very interested in that rumored box set though. :drool:
|
08-01 Atlanta, GA - Tabernacle
I know where I will be on August 1st!!! This is definitely Top 5 on the Most Exciting News I've Ever Heard list. |
Damn! No other dates are being scheduled?
|
Any idea how much tickets are going to run? I hope he isn't going to be one of those 200$ tickets like Tom Petty was when last i looked him up. :(
|
There is information for a couple of the shows on Ticketmaster. Tickets for Atlanta are $60 and $65 plus TM charges. Tickets for Detroit are $72 plus TM charges. Tickets will be sold by internet and phone only and will not be mailed. You must pick your ticket up as you enter the venue. Onsale date for Atlanta is 7/8. Onsale for Detroit is 7/14.
I'm hoping to get in for Nashville. The Ryman is a great venue, and it's close to home. The Palace in Louisville is also very nice, and less than two hours from home as well. |
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 12:35 PM. |
