The Glitter and Doom Tour was a concert tour by American rock musician Tom Waits.
Background[]
The tour was announced at a performance art press conference on May 5, 2008.

(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 – electronic scanners were employed – was not allowed in and did not get a refund.[1]
Band[]
As of July 22 Tom Waits band consisted of the following:[citation needed]
- Vincent Henry - woodwinds
- - drums
- Omar Torrez - guitar/banjo
